North Korea also said it would send a 550-member delegation to the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in the South, Seoul said, as the two sides met to discuss athlete numbers in the latest in a flurry of cross-border talks.
Nuclear-armed Pyongyang agreed last week to take part in next month's Pyeongchang Games which are taking place just 80 kilometres (50 miles) south of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that divides the peninsula.
The two Koreas will march together under a pro- unification flag at the opening ceremony for the February 9-25 Games, according to a press statement issued by the South.
They also agreed to form a unified women's ice hockey team and the South said it will send its skiers to the Masikryong ski resort in the North for joint training with North Korean skiers ahead of the Games.

- Frosty reception -
====================
The talks come after North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un abruptly announced his willingness to take part in the Games in his New Year speech.
The move was seen as a bid to ease searing tensions on the peninsula and was rapidly welcomed by Seoul.
Seoul's proposal for a unified team in women's ice hockey has met a frosty reception in South Korea, where critics accused the government of robbing some of its own players of the opportunity to compete at the Olympics for the sake of politics.

South Korea only qualified for the ice hockey tournament as hosts, rather than on merit, and are not seen as medal contenders.
