SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's defense ministry said on Thursday it had decided to accept North Korea's proposal for high-level military talks in a bid to defuse tensions on the divided peninsula.
A defense ministry spokesman said that it had not been decided whether the talks would be held at the ministerial level. "The government also plans to propose high-ranking talks on denuclearization," the spokesman said.
