Koreas Agree on Details for June 15th Event

Officials from the two Koreas have agreed on details for June 15th's joint commemoration of the 2000 inter-Korean summit.

The agreements, reached at the third round of official talks in the North's border city of Gaeseong, include accord on the length of stay and the size of delegations, with each side to send a 20-member delegation headed by a Cabinet-level official.

Two sides agreed on a four-day long stay in the North for South Korean delegates, from June 14th to 17th, and on the delegations' participation in the main events. Each side will host lunches, dinners and events twice and hold a joint celebration on the June 15th.

South Korea further agreed to send the North a list of its delegates ten days before the visit.

Unification Minister Chung Dong-young is expected to head the South Korean side. Meanwhile, the North Korean delegation will likely be led by Kwon Ho-ung, a senior Cabinet official.

Additionally, a separate chartered plane for a non-governmental Southern delegation will be allowed to fly directly to the North over the western sea.
