North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has given instructions for increased inter-Korean engagement following his sister Kim Yo Jong's visit to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. The specifics of these instructions were not disclosed. The United States has indicated support for further engagement between North and South Korea post-Olympics, potentially leading to discussions between Pyongyang and Washington. South Korean President Moon Jae-in stated that the United States is willing to engage in dialogue with North Korea. Moon relayed this information to Latvian President Raimonds Vējonis through a spokesperson. US officials are calling for stronger international sanctions to pressure North Korea into abandoning its nuclear program. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reiterated this sentiment, stating that South Korea also agreed on the need to maintain maximum pressure on North Korea. Despite North Korea's continued missile launches and nuclear tests, Japan, the United States, and South Korea are unified in their approach to dealing with the situation. The United States remains committed to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, according to a senior Japanese diplomat. A senior military official at the border between North and South Korea told Reuters that the ultimate objective is denuclearization, and the approach being taken is dialogue for dialogue, action for action. If North Korea fails to demonstrate tangible actions, both the United States and Japan will maintain their current policies. The official noted that North Korea has reduced the volume of its border propaganda broadcasts since the opening ceremony of the Olympics on Feb. 9. The official, stationed on the southern side of the border, mentioned that although the broadcasts can still be heard, they are much quieter than before. Moon, who received an invitation from Kim Jong Un via his sister for a meeting in Pyongyang, has been advocating for a diplomatic resolution to the tensions surrounding North Korea's nuclear and missile programs. Seoul intends to proceed with plans for reunions of family members separated by the Korean War in order to sustain the dialogue initiated by the visit of the North Korean delegation. In the meantime, Trump encouraged Russia to increase their efforts in persuading North Korea to abandon its nuclear program, according to the White House. This is part of a strategy to put more pressure on Pyongyang. The possibility of an inter-Korean summit, the first since 2007, has been discussed after months of tension between North Korea, South Korea, and the United States. The KCNA report did not mention the summit offer to Moon, but instead, Kim Jong Un expressed gratitude to Seoul for their efforts in prioritizing the delegation's visit, which he found very impressive. Moon and his team arranged multiple meetings and meals for the delegation during their stay at the presidential Blue House and luxury hotels, with Moon personally accompanying Kim Yo Jong to various events at the Olympics and an orchestra concert. Hundreds of North Koreans, along with a high-level delegation, have traveled to South Korea for the Winter Olympics. Among them are an orchestra and cheer squad, who will be present at the united women's ice hockey team's final game against Japan on Wednesday.
