Pyongyang and Seoul on Monday agreed to push for a groundbreaking ceremony connecting and modernizing inter-Korean road and rail to take place between late November and early December.
In a joint press statement following high-level talks at Panmunjom, the two Koreas said the ceremony would connect transport infrastructure on the eastern and western coast of the peninsula within the year - a key agreement in last month's Pyongyang agreement.
