THE Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) today proposed to hold working-level military talks with the Republic of Korea on March 2, revising its earlier suggestion to hold it tomorrow, Seoul's officials were quoted as saying by local media reports.
While South Korea had earlier requested to hold the talks tomorrow at the truce village of Panmunjom located in the inter- Korean Demilitarized Zone, the DPRK replied to meet on March 2 in Kaesong.
"We are considering whether or not to accept the offer," said Won Tae-jae, spokesman for Seoul's defense ministry, was quoted as saying.
During the talks, the two countries are likely to share views on improving cross-border passage, communications and customs clearance for South Korean firms in a joint industrial park in the DPRK, which South Korea has long been wishing for.
If held, the talks will be the first meeting between the two sides' military officials since October 2008, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said.
