The top organizer of the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea has offered to open the land route for North Korean athletes if they decide to compete south of the tense border, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported.
In a meeting with journalists at the South Korean Embassy in London, Lee Hee-beom, head of the organizing committee for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games, said South Korea will welcome North Korea with open arms.
Lee has repeatedly stated that all peace-loving nations have an obligation to participate in the Olympics.
"South Korea will welcome North Korea and when they decide to come, the South Korean government will allow them to come by road," Lee added.
