(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) TOKYO, Feb 11 (KUNA) -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in and the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will jointly attend a North Korean art troupe's concert in Seoul, Yonhap News Agency reported on Sunday.
Attending the performance Sunday evening will mark the fourth time Moon and Kim Yo-jong have met since they greeted each other during the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics on Friday.
Other members of the North's high-level delegation will be present for the concert, including the North's ceremonial head of state, Kim Yong-nam.
On Saturday, the North's delegation paid a visit to Moon at the presidential office. During Saturday's meeting, the North Korean leader's sister, in her capacity as special envoy of her brother Kim Jong-un, invited the South Korean chief executive to visit the North.
Moon said in response that he hopes that the right conditions will be created so that the proposed visit can take place.
The North's delegation arrived in the South on Friday and is to head back home late Sunday. A reconciliatory mood has dramatically formed since North Korean leader Kim offered an olive branch to the South in his New Year speech, saying that he is willing to discuss the North's participation in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
The two Koreas held a series of high-ranking and working-level talks on the matter, which came after years of hiatus caused by the North's continued missile and nuclear provocations.
Based on their agreements, the North has sent hundreds of its athletes, cheerleaders, an art troupe and staffers to the games, which kicked off on Friday in the South's eastern town of PyeongChang. (end) mk.ss
