Seoul, also plans to suggest, holding separate meetings with government officials from Pyongyang, to discuss the issue of denuclearization.

In addition, South Korea will propose a number of preparatory summits, prior to the high-level talks. Those discussions, if held, will mark the first major contact between the two sides in several years.
