South Korea's delegation has arrived at the truce village of Panmunjeom on Sunday morning to hold working-level talks with its North Korean counterpart.

The three-member delegation led by the Unification Ministry's Unification Policy Office chief Chun Hae-sung is scheduled to hold talks at the Freedom House located on the south side of the truce village at 10 a.m.

The North Korean delegation is led by Kim Song-hye of the North's Committee for Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland.

Before heading to the talks, Chun told reporters that the meeting is a preliminary step to hold inter-Korean ministerial-level talks, which the South proposed last week.

The talks on Sunday will mark the first time the two Koreas hold an official governmental meeting since 2011 when their militaries met to discuss issues related to the North's sinking of a South Korean warship and the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island.
