North Korea Calls for Unification in Rare Statement to All Koreans
Pyongyang has urged for Koreans to support "cooperation" between North and South Korea. The announcement came as its women's hockey team arrived in the South for its first joint practice ahead of the Winter Olympics, DW reports.
North Korea issued an announcement directed at "all Koreans at home and abroad" on Thursday, calling for increased efforts towards "independent" unification.
Pyongyang urged for Koreans "to improve North-South relations" after a meeting of the country's government and political parties, according to the statement, which was posted on media monitoring site KCNA Watch.
The announcement said Koreans should "promote contact, travel, cooperation between the North and South," but that it should do so without the help of other countries.
