South Korea has decided to send a 30-member delegation led by the country's defense minister to Pyongyang next week for the second-ever talks between the military chiefs of the two Koreas, the Defense Ministry said Friday.
The South's delegation will travel to Pyongyang by air over the West Sea to attend the talks to be held from Nov. 27-29 at the Songjeonggak military guesthouse in the North Korean capital, it added.
Defense Minister Kim Jang-soo and his northern counterpart Kim Il-chol plan to discuss ways of implementing the reconciliation agreement agreed in the October summit between the two Koreas' leaders.
At the talks, the two sides will focus on discussions relating to the creation of a joint fishing area and a broader peace belt around the Northern Limit Line, a de-factor inter-Korean maritime border, in the West Sea, as well as how to support inter-Korean economic cooperation, the ministry said.
