North and South Korea have agreed to hold military talks to discuss unsettled issues, including improving military hotlines between the two nations.
South Korea's Defense Ministry said in a statement Saturday the talks will be held Monday morning on the west coast near the border city of Paju.
The North proposed Friday that officer-level talks be held about improving telecommunications lines between the two sides.

North and South Korea have been technically in a state of war since their three-year conflict ended with a truce, and not a peace deal, in 1953.
But you have to wonder how seriously the North is taking this, given their history of doubletalk...
And I'd say a constant state of war since 1953 qualifies as an "unsettled issue," wouldn't it?
