The two Koreas have agreed to hold a joint-run commemorative event to mark the 11th anniversary of the October 4 inter-Korean Declaration, the South Korean Ministry of Unification (MOU) announced on Tuesday.

The joint celebration will be held between Thursday and Saturday in the North Korean capital, with around 150 people from the South Korean public and private sectors flying to Pyongyang using a direct route along the western coast of the peninsula.

The two Koreas last month agreed to hold “meaningful events” to celebrate the 11th anniversary of the October 4 Declaration, signed by the late DPRK leader Kim Jong Il
