SEOUL -- South and North Korea will hold high-level talks this week in the truce village of Panmunjom on how to implement agreements at their historic summit in April, officials said Tuesday.

The meeting on Wednesday will be attended by a five-member delegation from each side, the South's unification ministry said, adding Ri Son-kwon, chairman of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Country, will lead the North's delegation involving officials handling sports and economic issues.

South Korea's delegation will be led by Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon. At the summit last month, the Koreas agreed to hold military talks in May and Red Cross talks on arranging the reunion of separated families in August.
