Working-level officials from South and North to meet in Panmunjom on Monday
- 6 years ago
This week is a crucially important one for us here in Korea... and others around the world,... as the leaders of the two Koreas will hold their historic summit on Friday, a huge step toward a diplomatic solution to the North Korea issue.
And today,... working-level officials from both sides will meet for a third round talks to finalize the summit arrangements.
Here's Seoul's Presidential Office press secretary with the details on Sunday.
"Today, North Korea proposed that we hold a meeting of working-level officials tomorrow to discuss security, protocol and media coverage. They proposed holding it at Tongilgak, on the North Korean side of Panmunjom, and we accepted."
The two sides are known to be discussing the exact time and manner in which President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will meet -- also whether they will hold a joint press conference.
There's a chance the two sides could hold another high-level official meeting before the summit; which is to be confirmed after Monday's working-level talks.
Yoon added that President Moon convened a final meeting, closed-door, at 5PM Seoul time on Sunday, to review the agenda of the summit with his Chief Secretary, National Security Adviser, National Intelligence Service Chief, and the Unification Minister.
