Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon on Tuesday proposed a high-level inter-Korean meeting in the truce village of Panmunjom on Jan. 9.
Cho's proposal came a day after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un showed willingness to resume dialogue with Seoul on the issue of the North's possible participation in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics beginning Feb. 9.
"We are open to place and agenda," Cho told a briefing.
He said Seoul has been closely coordinating with the United States.
Regarding the North's failure to respond to talks through the contact channel in Panmunjom, the minister expressed his hope to restart dialogue.
