North Korea's media on Wednesday reported a South Korean delegation's trip to Pyongyang for friendly inter-Korean basketball matches.

The Korean Central News Agency(KCNA) said that the delegation led by South Korea's Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon arrived in Pyongyang on Tuesday for the "games of reunification." 

The KCNA also reported on a welcoming dinner hosted by the country's culture and sports ministry at the Okryugwan restaurant. 

The North’s state broadcaster Korean Central Television issued a similar report, saying that the South Korean delegation arrived at Pyongyang International Airport where they received a warm welcome from the North's vice sports minister Won Kil-u. 

Four friendly inter-Korean basketball matches are set to be played in Pyongyang on Wednesday and Thursday. South Korea’s 100-strong delegation, which is comprised of government officials, basketball players and journalists, is set to return home Friday.
