North Korea's leader has called for a "further livening up" of the "warm climate of reconciliation" with the South created by the Winter Olympics.

Kim's apparent Games charm offensive was led by his sister Kim Yo-jong.
South Korean President President Moon Jae-in has meanwhile said the US is open to talking with the North.
