The Committee, led by Moon's chief of staff Im Jong-seok, will also keep visitors to the website (www.koreasummit.kr) updated with breaking news and other relevant information before the summit.

It will have separate special archives for visitors to learn about the two previous summits in 2000 and 2007.

The site will be available in both PC and smartphone versions.

This version will be available in nine foreign languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Arabic and Vietnamese.

The RoK has also chosen "Peace, a new start" as a slogan for the upcoming inter-Korean summit, which will be held on April 27th, the presidential office said.

The two leaders, Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un, are preparing to hold their talks on the southern side of the truce village of Panmunjom. Focusing on the DPRK’s nuclear weapons program and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, this will mark the third event of its kind since their meetings in 2000 and 2007.

Earlier, President Moon Jae-in appointed Im Jong-seok, presidential chief of staff, to lead the preparation committee.    

Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon, the country's top policymaker in charge of inter-Korean affairs, was named as Vice Head of the presidential committee.

The Committee will also include Chung Eui-yong, top security advisor for Moon; Jang Ha-sung, presidential policy chief; Suh Hoon, director of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), the country's spy agency; Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha; Defense Minister Song Young-moo; and Hong Nam-ki, the minister of the Office for Government Policy Coordination.

It has three subcommittees on agenda communication and public relations, and operations support./.
