SEOUL, Feb 15 (Reuters) - North and South Korea will resume ministerial talks on Feb. 27, Seoul's Unification Ministry said on Thursday after a meeting of officials on the dialogue process that was frozen last July following North Korean missile tests.

It said the talks -- which in previous rounds focused on massive aid to the North -- would be held in Pyongyang.

The agreement to resume the talks came two days after Pyongyang signed a deal with five countries, including the United States, to shut down its nuclear programme.
