North Korea will dispatch its delegation for the PyeongChang Winter Paralympic Games, including athletes, on March seventh via the western land border. 

The two Koreas agreed on major issues concerning the North’s participation in the Paralympic Games during working-level talks on Tuesday at the truce village of Panmunjeom. 

According to Seoul’s Unification Ministry, the two sides also agreed that the North’s delegation will follow the South’s guidance during their stay in the South, while the South guarantees to ensure they are comfortable. 

Absent from the agreement, however, was the North’s initial plans to send an art troupe and cheerleaders. 

The two Koreas had agreed last month that the North would send a delegation of about 150 athletes, officials and cheerleaders to the South for the Paralympic Games, to be held between March ninth and March 18th. 

The two Koreas plan to discuss further details by exchanging letters through Panmunjeom.
