North and South Korea on Friday agreed to officially deliver their intention to co-host the 2032 Summer Olympics to the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The news came in a joint press statement issued following inter-Korean athletics talks at the joint liaison office at the now-shuttered Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC).

Talks began at 1000 local time, led by South Korean Vice Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Roh Tae-kang and North Korean Vice-Minister of Physical Culture and Sports Won Kil U.

Roh said the two sides had discussed “concrete and practical implementation plans for inter-Korean sports exchange and cooperation” at a news conference
