Inter-Korean working-level military talks to be held Dec. 5

South and North Korea will hold the second round of working-level military commission talks on military-related affairs pertaining to the reconnection of the inter-border Kyongui Railway and an adjacent highway at 10 a. m. on Dec. 5 at the South's Peace House, on the southern side of the truce village of Panmunjom.

Yu Yong-Chol, a colonel-level North Korean chief delegate to the working-level talks, sent a telephone message to his South Korean counterpart Army Brig. Gen. Kim Kyong-Dok on Friday, saying the North Korean side had accepted the South's proposal for the date of the military commission meeting, a related government official disclosed.

At the forthcoming talks, the two sides are expected to coordinate their positions on work schedules for the railway and highway projects and work out joint regulations concerning manpower and accidents that might take place between the operational military units of the two sides in the Demilitarized Zone.
