1st LD: DPRK offers to S.Korea holding vice ministerial-level talks

Xinhua,January 15, 2018 Adjust font size:

SEOUL, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) offered Monday to South Korea holding vice ministerial-level talks on Jan. 17 at the truce village of Panmunjom to discuss the DPRK's participation in South Korea-hosted Winter Olympics, multiple local media reported citing Seoul's unification ministry.

The DPRK proposed holding the working-level dialogue at the Peace House in Panmunjom from 10 a.m. local time Wednesday to discuss details on the dispatch of its delegation to the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games scheduled to run from February to March in South Korea's eastern county of PyeongChang.

Seoul offered last week to hold the vice ministerial-level talks Monday, but Pyongyang made the counterproposal, offering to hold talks first about the dispatch of its art troupe to PyeongChang, which were currently underway. Enditem
