South Korean skiers and ski coaches are now in North Korea.... for a two-day joint training
session with North Korean skiers.
The two Koreas had agreed on the joint ski training..... as part of a series of events
ahead of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
And before we sit down with an expert to talk about this... our Ji Myung-kil tells us more
about the joint ski training program.
Some thirty-one skiers from South Korea are at North Korea's Masikryong Ski Resort on
Wednesday.
The group of non-Olympic skiers and ski coaches took a chartered flight to the North's Kalma
Airport, some 45 minutes away from the resort.
On the first day the skiers will do free skiing,... getting used to the slopes of the Masikryong
Ski Resort and having friendly races with the North Korean skiers.
On the second day... the South and North skiers will hold joint training sessions.
North Korean skiers who will be taking part in PyeongChang 2018 will also be participating
in the training session.
Once the joint training session ends on Thursday,...
South Korean skiers plan to fly back to South Korea, with the North Korean athletes accompanying
them.
Prior to the joint event,...
South Korea has been in close consultation with the United States.
The Seoul government has stated that the inter-Korean sports and cultural activities.
won't break the international community's sanctions on the North.
Last September, the Trump administration announced a set of sanctions that included banning vessels
and aircraft that have visited North Korea within 180 days from entering the U.S.
