Games plea for North Korea

SOUTH Korean organizers for this year’s Asian Games said they’ve asked the International Olympic Committee to help bring North Korea to the quadrennial sports events.

North Korea’s state media said in January the country will take part in men’s and women’s football competitions at the Asian Games to be held in the South Korean city of Incheon, but it’s not clear if it will take any further part in the event. The Asian Games’ organizing committee chief Kim Young Soo asked IOC President Thomas Bach to make efforts to help realize a perfect Asian Games with the participation of North Korea in a Kuwait meeting this week.
