South Korean officials hold pre-summit meeting at inter-Korean border
- 6 years ago
Turning to South Korea's top office,… where officials have left to meet their North Korean counterparts ahead of next week's summit.
And let's turn to our Shin Se-min at the presidential office for more on this.
Se-min, we know the South Korean officials have already left, but what else -- if anything -- do we know?
Right the press corps received a message at around 7-30 this morning ,... that informed us of their departure to the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom.
Little over 4-hours have passed since their departure,... but no detail has been released on the progress of the talks.
But during their talks today,… we should be able to learn some of the details about the upcoming summit between the leaders next week - which will be held in the North Korean capital for the third time in modern Korean history.
Today's meeting will be about President Moon's itinerary,… and some of the schedules and events to be held during his three-day stay in the North Korean capital from next Tuesday.
On top of that, there's the list of South Korean delegates who will accompany the president-which the two Koreas have agreed to cap at 200 people.
But Jiyoon, we already know a few people who will definitely be joining the president,… the newly elected chair of the ruling Democratic Party Lee Hae-chan, and some South Korean business leaders as well.
We should know the full list soon.
On top of that, the two sides are set to hash out details like security and the extent of media coverage as well.
Back to you.
