Military officers from the two Koreas began talks Thursday in the first official contact between the nations since Seoul's new, conservative president took office in February.
The two sides were scheduled to discuss the implementation of previous military agreements, a South Korean Defense Ministry statement said. It gave no other details.
Col. Lee Sang-cheol, Seoul's chief delegate for talks, said he felt "a sense of deep responsibility" as he left for the talks' venue at the border village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone that divides the Koreas.
Lee also vowed to do his utmost to ensure sincere talks with a positive outcome, according to Yonhap news agency.
