South Korea's presidential office has proposed holding high-level talks with North Korea next Thursday ahead of the inter-Korean summit set for late April. 

Presidential secretary Kim Eui-kyeom said that the preparatory committee for inter-Korean talks held a plenary session on Wednesday and proposed holding high-level talks at Tongilgak in the truce village of Panmunjeom.

The government plans to send a three-member delegation for the talks led by Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon. 

South Korea will also propose that during the high-level talks, the two sides discuss the schedule, agenda and details of the delegations for the upcoming summit.
