Koreas agree to meeting in bid to ease tensions
None
North and South Korea will meet Sunday at a village straddling their heavily armed border as the sides try to lower tension and restore projects once seen as symbols of their rapprochement, officials said. The North delivered its agreement Saturday to hold talks at Panmunjom through a Red Cross line restored a day earlier, the Unification Ministry said in a text message.
