South and North Korea will hold a working-level meeting on January 19th on boosting economic cooperation.

South Korean Vice Unification Minister Rhee Bong-jo on Thursday told a regular news briefing that Seoul has agreed to Pyongyang's proposal made Tuesday.

He said the two-day meeting in the inter-Korean border city of Gaesong will focus on the South's supply of raw materials for the North's light industry and joint development and use of the North's underground natural resources.

Rhee also said he will propose another inter-Korean Red Cross meeting on February 7th in the North's Mount Geumgang for three days.
