Come Friday, the two Koreas will be establishing a direct line of communication between high levels of their respective governments.
In a briefing Thursday, Cheong Wa Dae Spokesperson Kim Eui-kyeom said one end of the hotline will be at the South Korean presidential office... and on the North Korean side it'll be at the State Affairs Commission, an executive body headed by Kim Jong-un.
The top office also announced six key aides who will accompany President Moon at the inter-Korean summit next week.
They are the president's chief secretary, his national security advisor, the nation's intelligence chief,... and the ministers of defense, foreign affairs and unification.
The Cheong Wa Dae will have two situation rooms built next Tuesday -- one at the truce village of Panmunjom and the other at the main press center.
The presidential office said rehearsals will be held at Panmunjom twice by each side ahead of the talks.
