South Korea agrees on a proposal of North Korea to resume the
inter-Korean ministerial talks later this month in Pyongyang, said
South Korean Unification Ministry on Friday.
The 18th round of the meeting, which originally was scheduled to
be held in late March, was put off by North Korea due to South
Korea-US annual military drills.
"The North side on Thursday proposed holding the next round of
ministerial talks on April 21-24 in Pyongyang," Yang Chang-seok, a
spokesman of the South Korean Unification Ministry said.
While, the ministry sent a telegram under the name of South
Korea's chief delegate to the talks, Unification Minister Lee
Jong-seok, earlier Friday to inform the North side that it agrees
with North Korea's proposal, added Yang.
