Anchor: The government has begun making preparations for an inter-Korean government-level meeting in line with an agreement reached by the two Koreas during their truce village talks on Tuesday. Alongside the main talks, Seoul appears to be considering multiple lower-level meetings on pending issues, including the possible lifting of the so-called May 24th sanctions.

Report: Seoul is preparing to hold inter-Korean talks as it agreed with Pyongyang during their latest meeting at the truce village of Panmunjeom.
 
Seoul's Unification Ministry Spokesman Jeong Joon-hee on Wednesday confirmed the launch of preparations, but did not disclose further details as he said matters are still under consideration.
 
The spokesman added, however, that the North is likely to bring up lifting the so-called May 24th sanctions at what he called "lower-level talks" alongside the main meeting. 
 
Jeong said Seoul plans to actively address the issue should the discussion take place. 
 
But as debate continues over Pyongyang's expression of "regret" for land mine explosions in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), Jeong opted not to elaborate on the level of apology needed to lift the sanctions for the North's 2010 sinking of a South Korean warship. 
 
Jeong also downplayed the Director of the Korean
People’s Army General Political Bureau Hwang Pyong-so's media denial of his country's involvement in the land mine incident, which followed Seoul's accepting of Pyongyang's regret over the explosions. 
 
While refusing to delve into the "nitty-gritty" of Hwang's denial on North Korean local TV Tuesday, the spokesman instead urged the North to thoroughly implement the latest accords. 
 
On an agreement between the two Koreas to hold reunions of separated families next month, Jeong said the government will make thorough preparations so the event can take place smoothly.
