The two Koreas have prepared for a follow-up meeting to their recent high-level talks by exchanging their lists of participants. 

Seoul's Unification Ministry said the lists were exchanged through the liaison office at the truce village of Panmunjeom on Tuesday afternoon, a day ahead of the working-level meeting to discuss the details of the North’s participation at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. 

According to the ministry, the North said it will send three representatives, including Jon Jong-su, vice chairman of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland. The others are Won Gil-woo, vice minister of North Korea's sports ministry, and Kim Kang-kuk, whose title has yet to be verified. 

An official at the Unification Ministry said the North’s list had only names without titles. 

South Korea delivered the list of its three representatives, namely Vice Unification Minister Chun Hae-sung,  Ahn Moon-hyun, deputy director-general of the Office of the Prime Minister, and Kim Ki-hong, vice president of games planning for the PyeongChang Olympics Organizing Committee.
