President Roh Moo-hyun and his delegation will use an overland route when they go to Pyongyang for summit talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il later this month.

South and North Korea reached the agreement at working-level talks Tuesday to prepare for the summit slated for August 28th to the 30th.

North Korea agreed that the South Korean leader can travel to and from Pyongyang on roads going through the inter-Korean border city of Gaesong.

South Korea will send two-hundred-two delegates to the summit, slightly more than the 182 it sent seven years ago, when then-President Kim Dae-jung visited Pyongyang for the first-ever inter-Korean summit.

The two sides agreed that the summit agenda will be based on an inter-Korean agreement on Mr. Roh’s Pyongyang visit, which was signed August fifth.

However, the two sides have still not finalized details of the itinerary.

Meanwhile, a 30-member advance team will visit the North on the chosen route seven days before the summit.

And a second working-level inter-Korean meeting slated for Thursday will discuss security, communications, media and protocol arrangements.
