The discussion will center on the high-level talks held Tuesday between South and North Korea. During the meeting, North Korea offered to send a delegation to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and the two countries agreed to resume military talks to reduce border tensions.
South Korean and US officials are expected to share their assessment of the result and coordinate their response.
The officials will hold in-depth consultation on ways to advance inter-Korean relations and push for a peaceful resolution of the North Korean nuclear issue, the ministry said.
