Former South Korean table tennis star Hyun Jung-hwa, who led the first unified table tennis team from South Korea and North Korea to win an international game in 1991, will share her insights on reunification and inter-Korean relations, the government said Monday.

The Unification Ministry said it has named the executive director of the Korea Table Tennis Association as the lecturer at one of the eight reunification forums hosted by the state-run Education Center for Unification on March 7.

Hyun will share her experience in winning the 1991 World Championships and thoughts about reunification of the two Koreas.

“As long as we have sincerity, we can always resume inter-Korean sports exchanges, which can resolve inter-Korean issues as well,” Hyun was quoted by a local news report as saying.

She said she missed the two North Korean players who were in the unified team that pulled off a surprise win against China in Chiba in April 1991.
