The two Koreas have agreed to hold general-level military talks at the border truce village of Panmunjeom next Tuesday to follow up on agreements reached at their summit in April. 

Seoul's Defense Ministry said Friday that it accepted Pyongyang's proposal for the meeting, which will take place at the Peace House on the South Korean side of the border at 10 a.m.

Major General Kim Do-gyun will lead South Korea's five-member delegation, while the North Korean side will be represented by Lieutenant General An Ik-san.

They are expected to discuss disarming the Joint Security Area in the Demilitarized Zone(DMZ) and withdrawing troops and equipment from border guard posts.

The agenda could also include a joint project to excavate the remains of troops in the DMZ who were killed during the Korean War, as well as turning the Northern Limit Line, a de facto sea border, into a peace zone.
