- 6 years ago
South Korea is continuing its push for the formation of joint Korea teams at the 2018 Asian Games that will be held in Jakarta in August.
During their summit at Panmunjom last Friday,... the leaders of the two Koreas agreed to jointly participate in international sports competitions.
Seoul's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism says it has asked 40 national sports federations whether they would be willing to form a unified team at the Asian Games.
Seven federations, including table tennis, basketball and judo, have shown interest in the proposal.
The move comes after the two Koreas formed a joint women's ice hockey team at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in February.
