THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: Two Koreas to discuss protocol, security, press coverage of 2018 summit



Officials from North and South Korea are set to hold talks on Thursday to discuss the details of an upcoming summit between their leaders.

According to the Cheong Wa Dae, the working-level dialogue will be held on the South Korean side of the joint security area, also known as Panmunjom. The meeting comes a week after the two Koreas agreed to hold the summit on the 27th of April in a high-level dialogue on the North Korean side of Panmunjom.

The summit between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will also be held at Panmunjom. Cheong Wa Dae officials said Wednesday's meeting is largely aimed at discussing security measures, protocols, and media coverages.

It will be followed by separate working-level meeting on Saturday to discuss the establishment of a communication hotline between the South Korean and North Korean leaders, which the countries have agreed to install. The summit is the first between leaders of the South and North since 2007.
