South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) confirmed an earlier plan Wednesday to hold the Eleventh Inter-Korean Ministerial Meeting in Seoul next week.

The two sides confirmed that agreement through contacts by their liaison officials working at the border village of Panmunjomon Wednesday, reported South Korean national news agency Yonhap News.

The two countries agreed in the Tenth Inter-Korean Ministerial Meeting held in Pyongyang in April to hold the new round of such cabinet-level meeting on July 9-12 in Seoul.

The ministerial level meeting is the highest level routine contact between Seoul and Pyongyang. Even after the eruption of the DPRK nuclear issue late last year, the channel has remained open.
