South Korea's advance team will visit Kaesong, a border town of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), to establish a joint liaison office with the DPRK, which was agreed upon during the high-level inter-Korean talks earlier this month, Seoul's unification ministry said Thursday.

The 14-member advance team, led by Vice Unification Minister Chun Hae-sung, will visit Kaesong Friday to conduct on-spot examinations over the inter-Korean industrial complex in Kaesong as the DPRK agreed to the visit, according to the ministry.

Senior-level officials from the two sides met on June 1 at the border village of Panmunjom to discuss implementation of the Panmunjom Declaration, which South Korean President Moon Jae-in and DPRK top leader Kim Jong Un inked after their first summit on April 27.

Under the Panmunjom Declaration, the two leaders agreed to set up the joint liaison office in Kaesong.

The Kaesong Industrial Complex has suspended operations since the previous South Korean government unilaterally closed it down in February 2016 over Pyongyang's nuclear test in the previous month.

During the South Korean side's on-spot examinations, DPRK officials will join them to conduct working-level discussions if necessary, the South Korean ministry said.
