South and North Korea will march together in the opening and closing ceremonies of the PyeongChang Paralympics for the first time in the Paralympic Games’ history.

International Paralympic Committee(IPC) President Andrew Parsons also announced the IPC's decision on Friday to provide North Korea with two wild card bids to compete in PyeongChang. 

He said two North Korean para Nordic skiers, Ma You-chul and Kim Jung-hyun, have been selected to take part. 

It also marks the first time ever for the North to participate in the Winter Paralympic Games.
