N. Korea to send orchestra to Winter Olympics (Lead)
Seoul, Jan 15 (IANS) North Korea agreed with South Korea on Monday to send a 140-member orchestra to the South Korea-hosted Winter Olympics, Seoul’s Unification Ministry said.
The agreement came after delegates from the two countries held working-level talks at Tongilgak, a North Korea building in the truce village of Panmunjom which straddles the heavily guarded inter-Korean land border, Xinhua news agency reported.
North Korea will send the art troupe during the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games set to run from February to March in South Korea’s eastern county of Pyeongchang.
During the Olympic period, North Korean art troupe will hold concerts in South Korea’s capital Seoul and Gangneung near the Pyeongchang county.
The orchestra will cross the inter-Korean land border through Panmunjom to get to South Korea, according to the Ministry.
South Korea agreed to provide the performance venue and necessary facilities, while North Korea agreed to send its advance team for the performance as rapidly as possible.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
