SEOUL -- The two Koreas agreed to hold their summit on April 27 between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un at the border village of Panmunjom, officials said Thursday.

There was no mention on the agenda for the Panmunjom summit in a joint statement released at the end of inter-Korean talks. The April 27 summit will focus on how to denuclearize the Korean peninsula, establish peace and develop cross-border relations, Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon, the South's chief delegate, told reporters, adding the two sides had sufficient discussions on the agenda.

The meeting in Panmunjom in the middle of the Demilitarized Zone which splits the Korean peninsula followed a summit this week between Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
