Events to mark the eighth anniversary of the June 15 Joint Declaration are scheduled to take place at Mount Geumgang in North Korea and Seoul on Sunday and Monday, organizers said Friday.
More than 450 people from the two Koreas and foreign countries are expected to participate in the event held in North Korea, which will display photos of inter-Korean relations and other programs, it said.
In Seoul, the organizers plan to adopt a declaration to urge the Lee Myung-bak government to implement the June 15 accord.
The June 15 declaration, an agreement on economic cooperation and cooperation in solving humanitarian issues, was signed by former President Kim Dae-jung and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il at the end of the first inter-Korean summit.
South and North Korean officials will not participate in the events, the Unification Ministry said.
