The presidential Blue House of the Republic of Korea (ROK) said Tuesday that there has been no change made in the scheduled inter-Korean summit, which the two Koreas agreed to hold next month.
Asked about whether to delay the agreed inter-Korean summit, Kim Eui-keum, a spokesman for the presidential Blue House, told a press briefing that there has never been any change.
The ROK and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) held high-level talks earlier this month, agreeing to hold the third summit between President Moon Jae-in and top DPRK leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang before the end of September.

The two sides, however, had yet to agree on the detailed schedule for the summit that requires working-level talks for preparations.
The spokesman said if the proper date for the summit is decided upon, working-level affairs can be intensively done.
Kim noted that Seoul will communicate with Pyongyang for the inter-Korean summit, but he declined to elaborate on details.
