Seoul proposes holding high-level talks with North Korea at Panmunjom

Unification minister also urges Pyongyang to normalize communications channels at Panmunjom

South Korea’s unification minister on Tuesday proposed a high-level government meeting with North Korea on January 9 at the truce village of Panmunjom.

The proposal came a day after Kim Jong Un said he could be willing to dispatch a delegation to the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics hosted by South Korea, suggesting that a government-level meeting with the South about the matter should be held “urgently.”

“The government proposes to hold inter-Korean high-level government talks at Peace House, Panmunjom on January 9 to discuss issues including the North’s participation in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics,” Minister of Unification Cho Myoung-gyon said
