SEOUL - Republic of Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will hold a dialogue between high-ranking officials Wednesday, Seoul's Unification Ministry said on Tuesday.

Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Eui-do told an emergency press briefing that the two Koreas have agreed to hold the high- level talks at 10 a.m. Wednesday local time in the Peace House, the South Korean side of the border village of Panmunjeom.

The vice ministerial-level officials from both sides will discuss overall inter-Korean affairs, with no specific agenda being selected in advance, Kim said, noting that the agenda was expected to include the agreed family reunion being implemented without a hitch and the regularization of the reunion.

Seoul and Pyongyang agreed to hold the reunion of families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War from February 20 to February 25 at the DPRK's scenic resort of Mount Kumgang.
