The deputy premiers of South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Tuesday launched a three-day talks on their joint economic programs.
The talks were held in Seoul between DPRK Deputy Prime Minister Jon Sung-hun and his South Korean counterpart Kwon O-kyu.
"The inter-Korean economic cooperation will sail smoothly if we pool our wisdom and strength," said Jon, who arrived in Seoul on a direct flight from Pyongyang early on the day.
South Korea hopes to create a framework in which economic cooperation can be extended to other areas, Kwon was quoted by South Korean officials as saying.
The South Korean Unification Ministry said the two sides had a plenary session in the afternoon but didn't disclose details of the meeting.
It was the first deputy prime minister talks between the two sides since South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun held a summit meeting with DPRK top leader Kim Jong-il in Pyongyang in early October.
The two deputy prime ministers are expected to discuss detailed measures to implement inter-Korean economic programs agreed by Rohand Kim.
