South and North Korea will hold two days of preparatory talks from Thursday ahead of the 11th inter-Korean Economic Cooperation meeting opening next week.

Delegations from the two sides will convene in the North’s border city of Gaesong and coordinate differences on the agenda for the upcoming talks. South and North exchanged proposed agendas last week for the first time since the two sides began engaging in regular bilateral talks.

The 11th inter-Korean Economic Cooperation will open in Gaesong on Tuesday.
