Seoul -- South Korea and the Democratic People' s Republic of Korea (DPRK) will hold general-level military talks on Dec. 12-14, the South Korean Defense Ministry said on Monday.

"South Korea and the North (DPRK) agreed to hold the 7th round of general-level military talks from Dec. 12-14 at the House of Peace on the southern side of Panmunjom," the ministry said in a press release.

It said the two sides will discuss how to support inter-Korean economic cooperation projects, including ways of facilitating passage, communications, and customs into the Kaesong industrial complex, during the talks.
