The two Koreas wrapped up their morning meeting on cross-border cooperation on railroads after about an hour at the Peace House on the southern side of the truce village of Panmunjeom. 

A Unification Ministry official said that the meeting will likely resume soon in the afternoon. 

The working-level meeting is being held to discuss cooperation in reconnecting and modernizing inter-Korean railways and roads in line with the Panmunjeom Declaration produced at the inter-Korean summit in April. 

The South's delegation is led by Vice Minister for Transport Kim Jeong-ryeol and consists of director-level officials from the Unification Ministry. 

North Korea sent to the meeting a three-member delegation, led by Vice Railroad Minister Kim Yun-hyok. 

During the morning session, the South Korean delegation is likely to have proposed that the two sides first conduct joint research given the limitations to inter-Korean cooperation due to sanctions against Pyongyang.
