South Korean President Moon Jae-in will meet the North's visiting head of state and leader Kim Jong Un's sister on Saturday in an Olympics-driven rapprochement, Seoul's Blue House said today.

Moon will have lunch with the high-level delegation Pyongyang is sending for the Winter Olympics, a spokesman told reporters, among them the North's ceremonial head of state Kim Yong Nam -- its highest-level official ever to go to the South -- and the increasingly influential Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un's younger sibling.
