The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has sent a list of its delegation for a rare high-level meeting with the South.

According to the unification ministry in Seoul, the DPRK's delegation for the meeting in the truce village of Panmunjom will be led by Ri Son-Gwon. He is the head of the DPRK's agency handling inter-Korean affairs. Pyongyang informed the South that four officials will accompany Ri. The message comes a day after South Korea named Unification Minister Cho Myoung-Gyon to lead its delegation for the talks.
