South Korea and Democratic People's Republic of Korea are expected to meet after a warning from experts that a possible volcanic eruption at Mount Baekdu, located on the DPRK border with China, may create huge disruption, similar to the Icelandic volcanic eruption in 2010, reports Xinhua. The talks will be held from May 11-13 in Seoul or Pyongyang, according to the ministry.
