A news report says the foreign ministers of North and South Korea have met briefly for the first time in three years.

South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported that the South’s Kim Sung-hwan and the North’s Pak Ui Chun had a brief chat this morning as they moved together to the venue for the ASEAN Regional Forum meeting on the Indonesian island of Bali.

Yonhap said it was the first meeting between foreign ministers of the two countries since July 2008.
