Seoul said as the two Koreas met today to discuss athlete numbers in the latest in a flurry of cross-border talks.<br/><br/> Nuclear-armed Pyongyang agreed last week to send athletes, high-level officials, performers and others to next month's Pyeongchang Games, taking place just 80 kilometres south of the Demilitarized Zone that divides the peninsula.<br/><br/>Seoul has long sought to proclaim the event a peace Olympics in the face of tensions over the North's weapons programmes — which have seen it subjected to multiple UN Security Council sanctions — and the discussions represent a marked improvement.<br/><br/>Three officials from each side took part and the results will be discussed by both Koreas with the International Olympic Committee at Lausanne in Switzerland on Saturday.
