The two Koreas agreed to hold the planned defense minister's meeting in Pyongyang on Nov. 27-29, according to the Ministry of National Defense Monday.

The agreement was made at a working-level meeting at the truce village of Panmunjeom.

``The defense minister's meeting will discuss measures for easing military hostility as agreed at the inter-Korean summit held in Pyongyang on Oct. 2-4,'' the ministry said.

The working group will continue their talks on other issues to be discussed during the 2nd inter-Korean defense minister's talks.
