North Korea has accepted Seoul's offer to hold high-level inter-Korean talks at the truce village of Panmunjom next Tuesday.
South Korea's Unification Ministry spokesperson Baik Tae-hyun made the announcement at a news conference on Friday.
South Korea on Tuesday proposed holding inter-Korean talks after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un expressed a willingness to send the country's delegation to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
Baik said Pyongyang contacted Seoul on Friday through a communication channel that was reopened on Wednesday.
He said North Korea sent a notification under the name of Ri Son Gwon, head of the North's state agency in charge of inter-Korean affairs. The recipient was South Korean Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon.
The talks will be held at a South Korean facility known as the peace house. The 2 Koreas plan to start arrangements for North Korean athletes to participate in the Olympics. They will also discuss ways to improve bilateral relations.
It will be the first joint meeting since December 2015.
In July, President Moon Jae-in's administration proposed that military officials from the 2 Koreas hold talks to ease tensions. It also proposed another inter-Korean meeting between Red Cross officials on the resumption of reunions of families separated by the Korean War.
But North Korea did not accept either of those proposals.

US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis says the annual joint military drills with South Korea will take place after the Olympics and Paralympics in Pyeongchang.
US President Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in have agreed to delay the exercises to ensure the security of the Games.
Mattis told reporters on Thursday that the delay is a practical matter, adding that the timelines for such matters have at times changed for any number of reasons.
The Paralympics will be held from March 9th to the 18th after the Olympic Games in February. The annual drills usually begin in February or March.
Mattis said the decision was made because of logistics and other issues related to hosting the international event.
Mattis also referred to the talks between Seoul and Pyongyang about sending a North Korean delegation to the Games. He said the talks are clearly the result of international pressure, but it is too early to tell if North Korea's offer to start them is a genuine olive branch or not.
US State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said dialogue between neighbors is not necessarily a bad thing.
But Nauert said she did not want to speculate on anything in the future as the department officials are skeptical that the North is sincere about discussing denuclearization.

Japan's prime minister has decided to present the People's Honor Award to 2 professional players of traditional board games shogi and go.
Shinzo Abe made the decision on Friday, and reported it to his cabinet.
Shogi, or Japanese chess, champion Yoshiharu Habu and go master Yuta Iyama are to receive the award on February 13th.
In December, Habu became the first player ever to become a lifetime holder of all 7 major shogi titles.
Iyama won all 7 major go titles for an unprecedented 2nd time last October.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters that both players' achievements will go down in history.
He said they have given people dreams, touched the hearts of many, and brought hope to society.
The 47-year-old Habu said in a statement that he was surprised to hear he was receiving such an honorable award. He said he owes it to his predecessors for their long years of effort to hand down the legacy of shogi.
Habu also said he hopes to continue working with Iyama to further develop the traditional culture for future generations.
Iyama, who's 28, received the news at a New Year event in Osaka. About 60 fans there burst into applause.
Iyama said it is a great honor that reflects people's high hopes for him. He pledged to work even harder to live up to their expectations.
The People's Honor Award, established in 1977, has been given to 23 individuals and one group for achievements in sports, entertainment, culture and other fields.

The United States has sanctioned 5 Iran-based entities over their alleged involvement in Iran's ballistic missile program.
The US Treasury Department announced on Thursday that it has frozen their assets within US jurisdictions.
In a statement, the department accused the Iranian government of prioritizing their missile program over the economic well-being of its people.
The statement said that the US will continue to "decisively counter the Iranian regime's malign activity."
It suggested possible additional sanctions targeting human rights abuses by the Iranian government.
Anti-government protests have spread across Iran since late December. Some demonstrators are voicing rare criticism of the Islamic establishment headed by the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Observers say the administration of US President Donald Trump aims to take a harsh stance against the Iranian government.

Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori has been released from a clinic after being granted a medical pardon. He has returned to his family for the first time in 10 years.
Fujimori left the clinic in the capital Lima on Thursday evening in a wheelchair. His second son, Kenji, accompanied the former president.
His eldest daughter, Keiko Fujimori, tweeted that she is happy to offer her father a place where he can spend the rest of his life. She posted a photo of the family that was apparently taken inside their residence.
The former president was given the controversial pardon on Christmas Eve. He had been rushed to the clinic the previous day when he complained of feeling ill.
The decision came after the Peruvian government learned that he was suffering from a "progressive, degenerative and incurable disease."
He was imprisoned at a police facility near Lima for 10 years in connection with the deaths of civilians by security officers acting under his orders.
Protests have continued since he was granted the pardon.
Fujimori has also been criticized for his autocratic governing style. He took a leading role in resolving the hostage crisis at the Japanese ambassador's residence in Lima in 1997.

A Canadian investment fund is planning to buy bankrupt US nuclear infrastructure firm Westinghouse Electric from Toshiba. The Japanese electronics giant incurred massive losses from the company.
Officials at Brookfield Business Partners said on Thursday they would acquire Westinghouse for 4.6 billion dollars. The deal still needs approval from US regulators and bankruptcy court.
The officials say Westinghouse is a leader in its field and has an established customer base.
Westinghouse says the deal will benefit its customers and employees.
Toshiba acquired Westinghouse in 2006 for 5.4 billion dollars.
The firm received orders for the construction of 4 nuclear plants. But rising costs and other factors led to the bankruptcy filing last March.
