Japan and DPRK will resume talks in Kuala Lumpur on October 29 on establishing diplomatic relations, a Japanese government source said Wednesday.

The two countries have agreed to hold full-scale normalization talks for two days in the Malaysian capital, said a Japanese government source who declined to be identified.

"The formal announcement will be made after approval at a meeting of cabinet ministers this afternoon," the source told the press.

Normalization talks between Tokyo and Pyongyang have been stalled for two years, blocked by a range of problems including the abductions by DPRK agents of Japanese and Pyongyang's demand for reparations for suffering during Japan's 1910-45 colonization of Korea.

In landmark talks in Pyongyang last month, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and DPRK leader Kim Jong-il agreed to resume talks on forging diplomatic ties in October.
