South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will hold two meetings on bilateral economic cooperation and construction of a permanent center for separated family reunions next week.

The Fourth Inter-Korean Economic Cooperation Promotion Meeting and the first joint task team meeting of the Red Cross societies of the two countries in dealing with the permanent reunion center will be held respectively on Feb. 11-14 and Feb. 13-15 in Seoul and Mount Geumgang of the DPRK.

According to the South Korean Ministry of Finance and Economy (MOFE) Thursday, the two sides are expected to discuss ways of implementing inter-Korean cooperation, including the construction of cross-border railways and roads and the setup of Kaeseong industrial complex in the DPRK.

The DPRK delegation, led by Chairman of the Inter-Korean Economic Cooperation Promotion Committee Pak Chang Ryon, will arrive here via Beijing next Tuesday to for talks with the South Korean team, headed by Vice Finance and Economy Minister Yoon Jin-shik.

The (South) Korean Matinal Red Cross (KNRC) and its DPRK counterpart reached an agreement that a permanent reunion center which can accommodate 1,000 people will be built in April near Mount Gemgang under a joint design of the two sides last January.

The joint task team was designed at that meeting to cover details of the construction.
