Kim Jong Un gave instructions for further inter-Korean engagement following his sister Kim Yo Jong's visit to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, as reported by North Korea's state media on Tuesday. The specific details of these instructions were not provided. The United States has shown support for increased 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, as relayed by Moon's spokesman during a briefing. Moon informed Latvian President Raimonds Vējonis that the United States views inter-Korean dialogue positively and is open to talks with North Korea. US officials are calling for strong international sanctions to be increased in order to persuade North Korea to abandon its nuclear program. This view was echoed by Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who stated that it was important 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 all aligned in their approach to addressing the situation. The United States remains committed to denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. A senior military official stationed at the border between North and South Korea stated that the goal is denuclearization and the process involves dialogue and action. He mentioned that if North Korea does not take action, the United States and Japan will not change their policies. The official also noted that North Korea has decreased the volume of its border propaganda broadcasts since the Olympics' opening ceremony on Feb. 9. Moon, who has been advocating for a diplomatic solution to the standoff, received an offer for a meeting with Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang through his sister. Seoul is moving forward with plans for reunions of family members separated by the Korean War to maintain the dialogue initiated by the North Korean delegation's visit. In the meantime, Trump has encouraged Russia to increase their efforts in persuading North Korea to abandon its nuclear program, as stated by the White House on Monday, in order to escalate the pressure being put on Pyongyang. Discussions of a potential inter-Korean summit, the first since 2007, have arisen following months of tension between Pyongyang, Seoul, and Washington. The recent KCNA report, like North Korean media over the weekend, did not mention the summit offer extended to Moon. Instead, Kim Jong Un expressed gratitude to Seoul for their "sincere efforts" in prioritizing the delegation's visit, which he found to be "very impressive", according to KCNA. Moon and his administration hosted numerous meetings and meals for the delegation at the presidential Blue House and luxury five-star hotels, with Moon personally accompanying Kim Yo Jong to various events at the Olympics and an orchestra concert. Besides the high-level delegation, hundreds of North Koreans, including an orchestra and cheer squad, have traveled to South Korea for the Winter Olympics. The cheerleading team will be present at the united women's ice hockey team's final game in the Olympics on Wednesday against old rival Japan to finish the preliminary round play.
