SEOUL - The US-led "United Nations Command " (UNC) here said Monday that it will hold colonel-level meetings with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) at Panmunjom on Tuesday, in preparation for a meeting of general-grade officers between the two sides.
In a faxed statement, the "UNC" said the DPRK's Korean People's Army Panmunjom Mission on Friday accepted a proposal, made by the "UNC" initially on June 26, to hold colonel-level meetings in advance of general officer talks to discuss the sinking of the South Korean warship Cheonan on March 26.
The two sides decided to hold the meetings on Tuesday at 10:00 am at the truce village Panmunjom.
