A Unification Ministry official says says South and North Korea plan to hold high-level talks early next month to follow up on the Pyongyang Declaration.

The official expects the talks will produce a detailed schedule of working-level inter-Korean talks, such as a Red Cross meeting and sectional discussions.

It remains uncertain if the two sides will agree on a joint military committee meeting. 

The official added that with Chuseok over, the inter-Korean liaison office in Gaeseong will operate normally and senior delegates from the two Koreas plan to meet there this week.
