Two Koreas will compete under one flag at Asian Games
2018-06-19
[NYPOST] North and South Korea will march under a unified flag in the Asian Games and will play a basketball game next month as the relationship between the two countries continues to thaw, according to a report on Monday.

Athletes from the two rivals will compete as one team and march together under a "Korea" flag during the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Games in Indonesia from mid-August to early September ‐ just as they did at the Winter Olympic Games in Seoul, Rooters reported,

​They will also play a basketball game in the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, on July 4, which marks the anniversary of an ​agreement signed by the two countries in 1972 establishing the terms of unification.

Another hoops game is expected to be played in Seoul later in the year.

​"We agreed to promote sports cooperation and exchanges including joint training and matches," the two Koreas said in a statement.
