Prime Minister to Host Lunch for N. Korean Delegation in Seoul

South Korean Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon will host lunch Sunday for a high-level North Korean delegation, including North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister Kim Yo-jong and the country's ceremonial head of state Kim Yong-nam.

The Prime Minister's Secretariat said that Lee will have lunch with ten North Korean delegates and 12 South Korean officials at the Walker Hill hotel in eastern Seoul.

The South Korean officials include Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon, Culture Minister Do Jong-hwan and chief of the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs and unification Shim Jae-kwon.

The lunch comes a day after the North's delegation paid a visit to President Moon Jae-in and delivered the North Korean leader's invitation for Moon to visit the North.

The North's delegation arrived on Friday to attend the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and is scheduled to head back to the North on Sunday.
