Two Koreas to Meet for New Talks Next Week

DPRK (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and ROK (Republic of Korea) will hold a fifth round of talks in Seoul from March 13-16 to discuss a wide range of inter-Korean issues, the South's Unification Ministry said on Wednesday.

DPRK Senior Cabinet Counselor Jon Kum-jin sent a telegram on Wednesday to ROK Unification Minister Park Jae-kyu saying Pyongyang agreed to Seoul's earlier proposal to open the talks next Tuesday, the ministry said in a statement.

``We hope to discuss with the North various issues including building up military confidence and North leader Kim Jong-il's proposed visit to Seoul,'' a ministry spokesman said.

The two Koreas have held four rounds of minister-level meetings focused on economic cooperation and family reunions since ROK President Kim Dae-jung held a historic summit with the North's Kim Jong-il in Pyongyang last June and agreed to make concerted efforts to end a half century of confrontation.

The two Koreas remain technically at war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended in an armed truce rather than a peace accord.
