Due to increasing corona virus in the world, North Korea has withdrawn from the Tokyo Olympics this year. Let us share that the country's sports ministry said on Tuesday, dashing South Korea's hopes of reviving the stalled peace talks during then Games. North Korea will now miss a Summer Olympics for then first time since it boycotted Seoul in 1988 amid the Cold War.

Here it is to be noted that South Korean President Moon Jae-in had hoped the two countries, still technically at war after their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, could field a combined team in Tokyo and rebuild momentum for improved relations.The North's withdrawal from Tokyo is also a setback for plans, agreed at a 2018 summit between Moon and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, to make a joint bid to host the 2032 Olympics.

However, here it is to be noted that  in 2018, when South Korea hosted the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Kim sent his sister to head the country's delegation, athletes from both sides marched under a unified flag at the opening ceremony, and fielded a combined women's ice hockey team. Tensions on the Korean Peninsula rose last month when the North resumed missile tests, although both sides said after the launches that they wanted to continue dialogue.
