Moon to Throw Luncheon for N. Korean Delegation Saturday

President Moon Jae-in will meet on Saturday with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s sister, who will visit the South for the first time among the members of the North’s ruling family. 

Presidential Spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom said on Thursday that Moon will host a luncheon for Kim Yo-jong and other members of North Korea's high-level delegation for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. 

The delegation will fly directly to the South from Pyongyang on a private plane and land at Incheon International Airport on Friday for a three-day trip to the South, which includes attending the opening ceremony of the Olympics later in the day. 

The 22-member delegation, to be led by the North's ceremonial head of state Kim Yong-nam, also includes Choe Hwi, chairman of the National Sports Guidance Committee, and Ri Son-gwon, chairman of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland. 

It's speculated Kim Yo-jong, deputy director of the propaganda department of the Workers' Party, may give Moon a letter from her brother during the luncheon meeting.
