orth and South Korea agreed to hold a joint basketball match in Pyongyang and to form some combined teams at August's Asian Games in Indonesia, the two countries announced on Monday, after a day of negotiations at their shared border.
The two countries also agreed that they would march together at the Asian Games as a sign of unity, they said in a joint statement.
The agreement comes as the two Koreas are holding a number of talks to discuss deepening their ties, including opening military hotlines and arranging family reunions for Koreans divided by the 1950-1953 Korean War.
