 Military talks between the U.S.-led United Nations Command and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) regarding the sinking of a Republic of Korea (RoK)’s warship have been rescheduled for July 15, U.N. Command spokesman David Oten said. The talks were initially slated for July 13.

The delay was announced earlier this week.

The much-anticipated meeting between military officers representing the United Nations and the DPRK are to take place in the demilitarized zone between the DPRK and RoK.

Participants plan to discuss the March 26 sinking of a RoK’s warship, the Cheonan. The U.N. officers were slated to be U.S. colonels, as the United States holds responsibility for U.N. security forces in Korea.

The purpose of the meeting is to "set the agenda and the protocols for general officer talks" in regards to the sinking of the RoK’s ship, Oten said.

The result of the meeting could be the announcement of general-level talks or more colonel-level meetings, Oten said.

The DPRK had accepted a U.N. proposal for the meeting of colonel-level leaders to be a precursor to talks between generals on the contentious naval incident.

The demilitarized zone was created as part of the armistice signed between the DPRK and the RoK in 1953 that halted fighting.
