DPRK agrees to hold high-level talks with ROK

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Friday accepted an offer from the Republic of Korea (ROK) to hold high-level talks, Yonhap reported.

The ROK proposed holding “a senior-level inter-governmental dialogue of the South and the North (Koreas)” on January 9 at Peace House in Panmunjom, said ROK’s Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon on Tuesday.

The offer came after DPRK leader Kim Jong Un offered to hold talks over sending a delegation to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. ROK President Moon Jae-in welcomed Kim Jong Un's comments and urged a resumption of inter-Korean dialogue.
