S. Korea Mulls One-day Inter-Korean Summit

The presidential office is considering a one-day summit for the planned meeting between the leaders of South and North Korea.

A senior presidential official told reporters on Friday that the matter will be decided through discussions by the organizing committee and working-level consultation with North Korea, but the summit is likely to be a one-day meeting.

The previous inter-Korean summit talks in 2000 and 2007 were both held for three days in Pyongyang.

However, the official did not rule out the possibility of holding a two-day or three-day summit next month after working-level discussions with North Korea. 

When asked about when the two Koreas will hold working-level talks, the official said that the matter has not been decided yet but such talks will likely be held soon.

The official added that setting up a hotline between the leaders of the two Koreas will also be discussed at the working-level talks.
