THE KOREAS have agreed to hold a landmark set of talks next month, with the leaders of the two countries meeting in a former village on the border.

President Moon Jae In of the south and Kim Jong Un of the north will meet in late April in Panmunjom, where the Korean war armistice agreement was signed in 1953, said South Korean security chief Chung Eui Yong.

Mr Chung went to Pyongyang with a South Korean delegation this week for official talks following the successful co-operation during the recent Winter Olympics in the south.
