HISTORICAL DECISION taken by North Korea: Sends STATE HEAD in South Korea, unprecedented
North Korea's head Kim Yong-nam is due to pay a visit to Pyeongchang this week at the Winter Olympics and become the highest-ranking Pyongyang official ever to visit South Korea , writes BBC News.
Kim Yong-nam is to attend Friday, at the opening ceremony of the JO, confirmed the North,
The two Koreas will scroll under one flag at the opening ceremony.
This visit signals a "thaw" in inter-Korean relations, but some experts find it unlikely to have any effect on Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions.
The visit will take three days, and Kim will lead the North Korean 22-member delegation.
Kim Yong-nam, aged 90, saw all three members of the Stalinist dynasty in his career.
Through his very symbolic function, he receives the accreditations of foreign diplomats in Pyongyang. As such, he is the one who sends condolences or congratulatory messages to foreign leaders.
He holds the presidency of the so-called North Korean Parliament - the Supreme People's Assembly - in 1998.
Unlike the current North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Kim Yong-nam has made visits abroad.
In August 2017, he paid a visit to Iran, where he participated in the second term of Hassan Rohani's investiture. He also participated in the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics in Russia in 2014.
Kim Yong-nam is considered a loyal follower of leadership.
"How he acts and expresses himself under the direction of leadership, Kim makes no mistakes. That's why he was able to keep his high-ranking post in a country where cleanliness is commonplace, "a North Korean transfiguration quoted by the South Korean press agency Yonhap said.
A South Korean presidential official told the BBC that Kim's visit reflects the North's willingness to improve inter-Korean relations and demonstrates the sincerity of Pyongyang.
Seoul announced he wants to hold high-level talks with the North Korean delegation during its visit, according to Yonhap.
By attending the opening ceremony of the OH, Kim Yong-nam will be in the presence of US Vice President Mike Pence, in the context of strong tensions between Pyongyang and Washington on North Korean nuclear ambitions.

BREAKING THE NERVES BETWEEN THE NETHERLANDS AND TURKEY: The Hague Government withdrew its ambassador from Ankara
The Netherlands announced on Monday that it is withdrawing its accredited Ambassador to Ankara because of the difficult 'normalized' relations with Turkey and that they will not authorize the presence of a Turkish representative on the Dutch territory as the relations between the two countries are at the lowest level since last year , AFP reports.
The Hague government then refused entry to the country of two Turkish ministers who wanted to address Turkish demonstrators during political rallies in favor of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Since then, despite talks 'we have not reached an agreement on how to normalize' relations, Dutch Foreign Minister Halbe Zijlstra said, according to a press release.

Russia, unprecedented warning for the US: 'We still have similar measures in our arsenal' as a response to sanctions
Russia still has measures that it can take against the US as a response to sanctions, but it keeps it for now, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Riabkov said, according to an interview published on Izvestia newspaper Monday,
Bearing tense tensions over Syria, Ukraine and the US accusations that Russia intervened in the 2016 presidential campaign, which Moscow denies, the ties between the two countries have reached the Cold War level.
The US Department of Finance published a list of 210 people last week, including 96 "oligarchs" worth $ 1 billion or more, considered to be close to the Kremlin regime as part of a package sanctions approved in August last year.
Finance Minister Steven Mnuchin said the report would include unspecified sanctions.
Riabkov told Izvestia that Moscow had previously retaliated against the US, suspending nuclear agreements, expanding the list of US politicians whom they consider anti-ruse and ordering half of US embassy staff in Russia to leave.
'We still have similar measures in our arsenal,' said Riabkov. "But their possible activation is the subject of a separate political decision," the Russian official said.
Such a decision will be taken by Russian President Vladimir Putin after assessing a 'combination of factors'.
"We have to evaluate the consequences of the list of oligarchs in terms of how it is used," Riabkov also said.
Despite ruined relations between the US and Russia, Riabkov said Moscow remains keen to try to make progress with the US in terms of arms control and non-aggression pacts.

North Korea's decision-news
South Korean presidential spokesman Cheong Wa Dae on Monday welcomed North Korea's decision to send a delegation headed by PyeonChang's chairman of the presidency of the Supreme Assembly, the Yonhap agency website said.
"We believe this decision shows North Korea's determination to improve the inter-Korean relationship and help the Olympic Games to be successful," spokeswoman Cheong Wa Dae said at a press conference.
The statement was made one day after Pyongyang announced Seoul that Supreme Assembly President Kim Yong-Nam will head a 22-member delegation to be present at the Olympic Games to be held from 9 to 25 February .
On the other hand, North Korea's participation in the Olympic Games is perceived as a diplomatic strategy of Pyongyang.
On Jan. 25, Pyongyang sent a rare message to "all Koreans, from home and abroad," in which they call for a "step forward" for unification without the help of other countries.
A North Korean high honorary officer will travel to South Korea on Friday for a three-day visit, a visit linked to the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, the South Korean government announced on Sunday.
The name of the North Korean official is Kim Yong-Nam, president of the presidency of the Supreme People's Assembly (the North Korean parliament controlled by the single party), and occupies the symbolic position of North Korean chief of state. He is not related to North Korean Kim Jong-Un, says Agerpres. Kim Yong-Nam will be accompanied by three high-level political leaders and a support team of 18 members, the South Korean Unification Ministry said, not mentioning whether or not Kim will attend the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Pyeongchang.

" Cum nu vii Tu, Tepes - Doamne, ca punand mana pe ei Sa-i imparti in doua cete : in smintiti si in misei. Si in doua temniti large, cu de-a sila sa-i aduni, Sa dai foc la puscarie si la casa de nebuni." - Mihai Eminescu
