South and North Korea have agreed to hold official government talks in Seoul on Wednesday.

During working-level talks at the Peace House located on the south side of the truce village of Panmunjeom on Sunday, the South's chief delegate Chun Hae-sung and his North Korean counterpart Kim Song-hye reached the decision.

A South Korean official said that the two chief negotiators are working on details for the talks after a series of failed one-on-one sessions. The official said that the envisioned talks between "responsible authorities" will likely be held for more than a day in Seoul, but cautioned that unexpected changes could take place during the current negotiations given the nature of South-North relations.

They are said to be drafting a statement which will summarize their agreements.

At the much-anticipated talks on Wednesday, the two Koreas are expected to discuss issues related to the resumption of suspended inter-Korean economic projects, including the operation of the Gaeseong Industrial Complex. The two sides could also discuss the resumption of South Korea's tour program to Mt. Geumgang resort in the North, which has been shut down since the shooting death of a South Korean tourist in 2008. The issue of holding an inter-Korean family reunion could be on the table as well.

The working-level talks on Sunday marked the first time for the two Koreas to hold an official governmental meeting since 2011 when their nuclear negotiators met in Beijing in September of that year. Also in 2011, military officials of the two Koreas met to discuss issues related to the North's sinking of a South Korean warship.
