Officials from the rival Koreas will meet for their first summit in a decade next month to try to resolve a standoff over North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

The announcement Thursday came after representatives of the two nations met at the border village of Panmunjon and said the April 27 summit would focus on denuclearizing the peninsula.

They scheduled another meeting for April 4 to discuss the details of the summit, including staffing and security.

Leaders of the two ​Koreas have held talks only twice since an armistice ended the three-year Korean War in 1953 — in 2000 and 2007.
