N Korea applies to compete at worlds in Japan: source

hopefully they will approve these athletes to come.

Sounds like a promising way to thaw ties in the future between NK and Japan, like some of those exhibition puroresu matches Antonio Inoki did in North Korea.

So long as they don't mix with any SK teams and weaken them. NK standalone (as is usual) and let's see what they can do.

@Ganbare Japan!

also consider to allow in NK athletes for Tokyo 2020

It’s not “consider”; Japan has a legal obligation to let all qualified NK athletes in for Soccer and the Olympics, or Japan gets sanctioned by FIFA and IOC.

NK should return the people they kidnapped first, then we'll let their athletes in. While we're at it, Taiwan should be allowed to take part in the olympics under its own name and flag.

should be interesting

Abe should say: On condition that you return the Japanese citizens (or their remains) your country has kidnapped over the years.

In the spirit of sportsmanship, Japan will probably let them in to compete, and will definitely also consider to allow in NK athletes for Tokyo 2020. I hope the Summit between PM Abe and Chairman Kim can be organized soon.
