1st LD: S. Korea, DPRK to resume vice ministerial-level talks on Saturday

Xinhua, December 11, 2015 Adjust font size:

South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Friday failed to reach any agreement during the vice ministerial-level dialogue, agreeing to resume the talks on Saturday.

Three delegates from each side gathered in the DPRK's border city of Kaesong, kicking off the high-level dialogue from 10:40 a.m. local time (0140 GMT), according to South Korea's unification ministry.

During the 30-minute plenary talks, the two sides exchanged each other's position on issues to improve bilateral relations.

The second session among chief delegates, however, began seven hours or so after the plenary talks, indicating big differences over major issues. The second session continued for about four hours through 11 p.m. Endite
