Koreas to Hold Working-level Talks on Art Performers' Visit to Olympics

South and North Korea will hold working-level talks on Monday to discuss details regarding the North's offer to send its art performers to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
A Unification Ministry official in Seoul said on Sunday that Seoul proposed the two sides will hold working-level talks at 10 a.m. Monday and the detailed schedule will be finalized on Sunday.
The two sides on Saturday agreed to a working-level meeting on Monday at Tongilgak, a North Korean building in the truce village of Panmunjom.
They are expected to discuss issues including the size of the North's art troupe, a route by which they will travel southward and detailed performance schedules.
Pyongyang said that it'll send a four-member delegation led by Kwon Hyok-bong, director of the arts and performance bureau at its Culture Ministry. The delegation also includes Hyon Song-wol, the leader of the all-female Moranbong Band.
South Korea's delegation will be led by Lee Woo-sung, head of the culture and arts policy office at the Culture Ministry. The delegates include Korean Symphony Orchestra's CEO Lee Won-choul, its artistic director Chong Chi-yong, and Han Jong-wook, who heads an inter-Korean dialogue division under the unification ministry's Office of Inter-Korean Dialogue.
