SEOUL, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Mar, 2018 ) ::South and North Korea held working-level talks Tuesday to discuss a South Korean art troupe's performance in Pyongyang in early April ahead of a planned inter-Korean summit.

The two Koreas adopted a joint statement following the talks at the border truce village of Panmunjom, and it will be released in a press briefing after the South's delegates come back home, according to Seoul's unification ministry, Yonhap reported.

South Korea agreed to send an art troupe and a taekwondo demonstration team to Pyongyang when South Korean special envoys met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in early March. The concert comes ahead of an inter-Korean summit at the border village slated for late April.

The move reciprocates North Korea's dispatch of musicians and traditional Korean martial art demonstrators on the occasion of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics last month.

The two sides apparently discussed details, including a date for the performance and a transportation route.

Seoul is considering sending an advance team to check possible venues, a ministry official said.
