To Comrade Constantin Oancea,

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs,

 

A meeting between the representatives of North and South Korea took place in Panmunjeom [Panmunjom] today, January 24, 1980. On this occasion, South Korea forwarded a letter from the South Korean Prime Minister to the Prime Minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as a reply to his letter from January 11, 1980.

 

Based on the South Korean radio station broadcasts, the letter proposes a working session to be held at a deputy minister level in order to discuss the details of a meeting between the Prime Minister of South Korea and the Prime Minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The meeting will take place in Panmunjeom, in a building called "The House of Freedom" - situated on the South Korean side of the demarcation line -, on February 6 or in a different location that will be decided upon during a working session between deputy ministers. The participants will discuss problems regarding the details for a meeting between prime ministers.

 

We will continue to follow this issue.

 

Signed,

Paul Marinescu.
