SEOUL (THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - The Moon administration must have been deeply frustrated, though not dismayed, at North Korea s decision not to participate in the upcoming Tokyo Summer Olympics.
The North announced Tuesday (April 6) that its Olympics Committee held a general meeting March 25 and decided not to join the Tokyo Olympic Games, scheduled to start in July, to protect its athletes from the coronavirus pandemic.
The global sports event was considered probably the last remaining chance to engage with the North before President Moon Jae-in s five-year tenure ends in May next year.
The Moon administration was eager to use it as an opportunity to put its peace agenda back on track. In a speech last month, Moon said South Korea would cooperate with Japan to ensure the success of the Tokyo Olympics, noting that it could offer a chance for dialogue among the two Koreas, the US and Japan.
