South Korea's government says it has proposed holding ministerial level talks with North Korea next week to discuss details of a planned inter-Korean summit.
The two Koreas have agreed to hold a summit of their leaders in late April on the South's side of the truce village of Panmunjom. It would be the first such summit in 10-and-a-half years and the 3rd overall.
South Korea's Unification Ministry on Thursday announced that it proposed holding a ministerial level meeting on March 29th on the North's side of Panmunjom. It hopes to discuss the date and agenda for the summit.
It says Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon will head South Korea's delegation, as he did in the high-level inter-Korean talks held in January.
The presidential office and the National Intelligence Service will each send a single official.
South Korea will dispatch an art troupe of about 160 members, including a pop singer and a girl group, to Pyongyang on March 31st.

US researchers analyzing satellite imagery of a nuclear test site in North Korea report slower activities, which is noteworthy amid the country's recent desire for dialogue. But the researchers do not rule out possibility of a temporary suspension.
A Johns Hopkins University team on Friday released satellite imagery taken on March 17th of the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in the country's northeast region.
Nuclear tests have been conducted in an underground tunnel complex at Punggye-ri. The research team said excavation work was underway in the West Portal tunnel complex after the country's 6th nuclear test last September.
The US researchers say that as recently as March 2nd, work was observed at the site, with multiple mining carts observed near the tunnel, and newly dug sand piled up.
They say no such work could be confirmed in the March 17th photo, in which no mining carts are seen, and they noted the absence of freshly excavated sand.
The US team says the March 2nd imagery confirmed people moving around outside military accommodations and other facilities. But they say no such activity was seen on March 17th.

Chinese Vice Premier Liu He has told US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin that China is ready and capable of safeguarding its national interests.
China's state-run Xinhua news agency says Liu spoke with Mnuchin by phone on Saturday.
Their call came after US President Donald Trump's decision on Thursday to impose 25 percent tariffs on a broad range of imports from China. Trump claims that the country's trade practices violate US intellectual property rights.
The duties, which will go into force under Section 301 of the Trade Act, are expected to be levied on around 10 percent of Chinese imports, worth about 50 billion dollars.
Xinhua says Liu told Mnuchin that the measure violates global trade rules, and is detrimental to the interests of China, the United States, as well as the whole world.
But Liu expressed the hope that the 2 sides will stay rational and work together to maintain the overall stability of their economic and trade relations.
Xinhua says Liu and Mnuchin agreed to stay in communication on the issue.

NHK has learned that at least 4 Japanese financial institutions listed by a nuclear-weapons watchdog as investing in firms involved in the production of nuclear weapons have internal policies forbidding such ties.
The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, or ICAN, says 329 banks and asset management firms in 24 countries and regions invested in companies involved in nuclear weapons production over a 3-year period starting in 2014.
NHK contacted 7 Japan-based banks and other institutions listed by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning group. Asked about ICAN's findings, 3 of the firms said they do not currently deal with such companies. Four institutions did not reply.
At least 4 said their internal regulations restrict them from investing or providing loans to businesses related to nuclear weapons production.
ICAN says 30 non-Japanese companies have suspended such investments following the adoption last year of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
Yuki Tanabe, an official at the Japan Center for a Sustainable Environment and Society, says banks and other institutions could be accused of lacking social responsibility by doing business with such companies -- even when they have no direct deals with them, or have policies against such investments.

A Japanese government panel has drafted a plan to identify and nurture experts who can promote the country's culture, products and services to the world.
The Minister for "Cool Japan" Strategy, Masaji Matsuyama, heads the panel, which is working to raise the profile of Japan overseas through its traditions, manga, anime, food, fashion, technology and more.
The draft includes a plan to allow foreign experts in anime and fashion to acquire residency permits more easily.
Currently, only researchers, business owners and some other foreign workers can apply for the permits under eased requirements.
The draft also calls on the government to support a new category of vocational university that will be allowed to open from the 2019 academic year. It says the government should assist with efforts to recruit experts as teachers in fields such as anime and tourism.
The draft also urges the government to launch a career consultancy website to connect companies with foreign graduates of schools in Japan.
The panel will finalize the draft on Monday.
