An editorial on the North's propaganda website DPRK Today on Tuesday highlighted North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's commitment to boosting inter-Korean relations.
Liberation Day is celebrated in North and South Korea to commemorate the end of 35 years of Japanese colonial rule.
(North) Korean Central News Agency reported on the same day that another inter-Korean summit, the third this year, will be held in September.
The summit agreement came on Monday during the fourth high-level talks between the two countries. Unification Minister Cho Myong-gyon and Ri Son-gwon, head of the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification, met.
The DPRK Today editorial also referred to the June 15, 2000, joint declaration that was issued after the first inter-Korean summit between late President Kim Dae-jung and then North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
