PYONGYANG, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- The official news agency of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) confirmed Tuesday the north-south summit meeting will be held in Pyongyang within September.

According to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), at the north-south senior-level talks on Monday, "both sides reviewed the efforts for implementing the Panmunjom Declaration and sincerely discussed the issues of more positively implementing it."

The talks were held at Tongilgak, a DPRK building in the border village of Panmunjom, after which a joint statement was issued, saying the two countries agreed to hold the Moon-Kim summit in Pyongyang before the end of September.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in and top DPRK leader Kim Jong Un signed the Panmunjom Declaration after their first summit meeting on April 27. Under the declaration, the two leaders agreed to strengthen cooperation and exchanges.
