One of the world’s most secretive states, North Korea, has resumed its ‘sports diplomacy’ at Paris 2024.
The Olympic Games have also been highly political events – Paris 2024 will be no different.

North Korea sending a delegation to this year’s Winter Olympics in South Korea may be a global shadow puppet show – or it might help thaw the frozen relations between the two countries.
