U.S. and North Korean officials met at the border between the two Koreas on Sunday to discuss the return of remains of American soldiers killed in the 1950-53 Korean War, according to a media report.
The subject of the talks, which were originally scheduled for last Thursday before a sudden pullout by the North side, was one of the agreements reached at U.S. President Donald Trump's landmark meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore last month.
After a visit to Pyongyang earlier this month, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the two sides had initially agreed to hold talks on U.S. remains last week, but no North Korea representatives showed up at the border. The North then proposed meeting higher-level U.S. military officials Sunday, according to officials from the U.S. and South.
