SEOUL, Aug 18 (Reuters) - South Korea will propose that a summit with North Korea be held on Oct. 2-4 following a request from Pyongyang to postpone the meeting originally planned for the end of this month, South Korea's YTN TV said on Saturday.

"The government has proposed to hold the summit on Oct. 2-4," YTN said.

South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun was scheduled to visit Pyongyang to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-il on Aug. 28-30 for what would be only the second summit between two countries which are still technically at war.

YTN said Pyongyang had asked for the summit, the first in seven years, to be postponed because of flooding that has killed hundreds of people and made more than 300,000 homeless in the impoverished North.
