Working level inter-Korean military talks will begin at ten a.m. on Thursday at the border village of Panmunjeom.

The Defense Ministry in Seoul says the North has accepted the South's offer to hold the talks Thursday.

Pyongyang originally proposed last week that the talks be held Tuesday.

It will be the first inter-Korean meeting since President Lee Myung-bak took office and the first military talks since late January.

The talks will discuss the implementation of inter-Korean military agreements signed at previous military talks, but North Korea may raise a number of different issues.

Army Colonel Lee Sang-cheol, chief of the Defense Ministry's North Korea policy bureau, will head a three-member delegation, and the North's delegation will be led by Senior Colonel Park Rim-su.
