The two Koreas agreed Friday to hold working-level talks early next week to discuss the details of North Korea's participation in the Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics, South Korea's Unification Ministry said.

Pyongyang accepted Seoul's proposal to hold such talks, the ministry said, adding they will get together on Tuesday morning at Tongilgak, a North Korean-controlled building in the Demilitarized Zone that divides the two Koreas.

South Korea, which hosts the Olympics and Paralympics this year, plans to send a three-member delegation led by Lee Joo Tae, director general in charge of inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation at the ministry, it said.

In January, the two Koreas also held working-level talks prior to the Olympics that started Feb. 9, where they reached agreement to march together under a unified flag in the opening ceremony and form a joint women's ice hockey team.

The Pyeongchang Paralympics is scheduled for March 9-18.

In a separate move, North Korea said Thursday that it will send a high-raking delegation led by Kim Yong Chol, the head of the North Korean ruling party's United Front Department, to Sunday's closing ceremony of the Olympics.

The delegation is expected to meet with South Korean President Moon Jae In during its three-day trip from Sunday.
