SEOUL - The Republic of Korea on Friday accepted the working-level contact proposal by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Seoul's Unification Ministry in charge of inter-Korean affairs said that it accepted the DPRK offer to hold working-level talks on Nov 26 at the Tongil House, an administrative building on the north side of the truce village of Panmunjom.

The DPRK's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea sent the proposal notice earlier in the day to South Korea's Unification Ministry, which in turn sent a consent notice to the DPRK.
