The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) asked on Tuesday for a one-day delay of Wednesday’s working-level meeting to hammer out details of the inter-Korean summit in late April, Yonhap News Agency reported.

The meeting, which will be held on the southern side of the border village of Panmunjom, will discuss matters including protocol, security and news releases, Yonhap said, citing the Republic of Korea's (ROK) unification ministry.

The new proposed date is Thursday.

The ROK has also noted that the DPRK has offered another working-level meeting on Saturday to discuss approaches to setting up an inter-Korean hotline between ROK President Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong Un, the DPRK leader.
