首尔:朝韩将举行高级别会谈
South Korea says it will hold rare high-level talks with North Korea on Wednesday, as the two sides prepare for reunions between families separated by the Korean War.
Seoul's Unification Ministry said Tuesday no official agenda has been set for the meeting. But it said a range of issues, including the family reunions, would be discussed.
A deputy national security advisor is set to lead the South Korean delegation. It is not known who North Korea will send to the meeting, which will be held at the Panmunjom border village.
North and South Korea agreed last week to resume the reunions, which were last held in 2010. They are set for February 20-25, though there are concerns North Korea may pull out at the last minute, as it has done in the past.
Pyongyang already said last week it was forced to reconsider, just one day after reaching the deal. It has been pressuring Seoul and Washington to call off annual joint military drills that are scheduled to take place in late February.
