S. Korea invites North to Games

South Korean President Moon Jae-In on Saturday invited North Korea to the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, saying sports could serve as a peace maker.

The South and nucleararmed North Korea are separated by one of the world’s most heavily armed borders and remain technically at war after the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice rather than a peace treaty. But the centre-left Moon is known to favour engagement with the North to bring it to the negotiating table in a break from his conservative predecessors.
