1st LD: S. Korea offers working-level talks with DPRK on Winter Olympics on Jan. 15

Xinhua,January 12, 2018 Adjust font size:

SEOUL, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- South Korea has offered to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) holding a working-level dialogue next week in the truce village of Panmunjom to discuss details on the DPRK's participation in the South Korea-hosted Winter Olympics, Seoul's unification ministry said Friday.

Seoul proposed to Pyongyang holding vice ministerial-level talks from 10:00 a.m. local time Monday at the Peace House, a South Korean building in Panmunjom, which straddles the heavily guarded inter-Korean border.

At the same venue, the two Koreas had the first senior-level dialogue in about two years Tuesday, agreeing that the DPRK would participate in the 2018 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games slate to run from February to March in South Korea's eastern county of PyeongChang. Enditem
