The minor opposition Party for Democracy and Peace on Tuesday submitted to the parliament a resolution that calls for inviting North Korean athletes to a national sports event to be held in the southwestern city of Iksan in October.
The resolution called for parliamentary cooperation for the North's participation in the National Sports Festival which will be held from Oct. 12 to 18 in the city 200 kilometers south of Seoul.
"The North's participation in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics provided a new opportunity for inter-Korean exchange and cooperation," it said.
