South Korea has agreed to meet with the DPRK at the Kaesong Joint Industrial Park on June the 11th.

South Korean Unification Ministry spokesman, Chun Hae-sung, says the DPRK has proposed working-level talks at the joint park. He says there have been attempts to step up dialogue between the two sides since negotiations failed.

During the last governmental talks on April 21st, which lasted only 22 minutes, the two sides presented their stances on the operation of Kaesong's inter-Korean industrial complex but failed to conduct in-depth discussion.

While the DPRK officials at the talks focused on issues of wages, land use fees and other contracts governing the joint park, they refused to address the issue of a detained worker, the main subject of the South Korean delegation.
