S. Korea Informs N. Korea of its Delegation List for High-level Meeting

South Korea has informed North Korea of its delegation list ahead of Friday's high-level meeting to discuss implementation of agreements between the two sides' leaders in April.

The Unification Ministry said on Tuesday that the five-member delegation led by Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon includes Vice Transport Minister Kim Jeong-ryeol, Vice Culture Minster Roh Tae-kang, and Ahn Moon-hyun, deputy director-general of the Office of the Prime Minister. 

South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un agreed to the meeting during their second summit at the truce village of Panmunjeom on Saturday.

Pyongyang had previously cancelled the meeting scheduled for May 16th, citing Seoul's annual military drills with Washington.

Friday's high-level talks is expected to lead to other discussions on issues such as the reunions of families separated by the Korean War.
