Relations between North and South Korea continued to rebound on Wednesday as the two longtime foes engaged in some basketball diplomacy for the first time in 15 years, according to a report.
Teams named “Peace” and “Prosperity” made up of a mix of North and South Korean athletes played at a 12,000-seat gymnasium in the North’s capital Pyongyang.
The women’s “Prosperity” team managed to pull out a 103-102 win while the men’s teams ended up even at 102-102 after a last-second game-tying three pointer, the South Korean Yonhap news agency said .
A capacity crowd cheered the teams and waved signs that said, “Welcome,” and “We are passionately rooting for you,” the report said.
