Politicians meet, so the sportsmen can perform
For the first time since 2015, South Korean unification minister and the head of North Korean delegation met early this week to discuss the possible solutions for the North Koreans to take part in the upcoming winter Olympic Games in the South Korean city of PyeongChang. Certainly, this sports event was merely a cause for the sides to come together after very tense past year. It shall be noted that the initiative came from the leader of North Korea – Kim Jong-Un, who in his New Year`s speech underlined that sportsmen of his country would not mind to participate in the upcoming Olympic games. On the January 15th the delegations will meet again in the demilitarised zone.

Donald Trump has recently expressed his concern regarding the “Iranian Nuclear Deal”. In light of the latest events in Iran, radical events around this deal might have irreversible consequences.

The Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu in his turn called his French partner – Emmanuel Macron- and urged to back-up Donald Trump`s position.
