Athletes from the two Koreas have joined hands and marched before under one flag -- showing a united Korean peninsula in blue against a white background -- at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and in Athens as well as this year's Turin Winter Olympics.
They then competed for their separate countries.
North and South Korea competed as a single team in an aborted experiment in soccer and table tennis in the early 1990s. West and East Germany remained tough sporting rivals right up to unification in 1990.
Kim said the two sides would meet again over the coming days on the sidelines of an international sports conference to work on their plan.
