BEIJING -- International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach on Thursday headed to Pyongyang to talk sports issues with North Koreans.

Bach took North Korea's Air Koryo flight to Pyongyang at Beijing Capital International Airport in Beijing with other IOC officials. It is currently unknown whether Bach will meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during his visit.

The German previously said he would visit Pyongyang after revealing that he received a standing invitation from North Korea, which was extended to him during an IOC meeting over North Korean participation in Pyeongchang 2018 in January.
