Seoul: The rival Koreas have agreed to hold a third summit between their leaders in Pyongyang sometime before the end of September.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in met in April and May at the border truce village of Panmunjom, within the demilitarised zone (DMZ) that separates the two Koreas, and agreed that the next summit in autumn would be held in the North Korean capital.

The two Koreas held a fresh round of talks at the DMZ on Monday to discuss the third summit, led by the South's Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon and Ri Son Gwon, chairman of the North's reunification committee.

Ri said both sides agreed on specific details, including the date for the summit, but declined to elaborate.
