Earlier in the day, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) said it will declassify the transcript and disclose it because Roh's alleged remarks have long caused a stir and the ruling and opposition parties called for its disclosure.
The NIS said it will deliver the records to members of the National Assembly's intelligence committee.
However, the NIS move ignited strong protests from the main opposition Democratic Party (DP).
Rep. Jung Chung-rai of the DP called for the disclosure of the summit's original transcript which has been preserved at the presidential archives department of the National Archives of Korea, not a duplicate that could have fabricated the original minutes of a summit between former President Roh and the late Kim Jong-il, father of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Jung said NIS officials tried to deliver the documents during their visit to the offices of DP members of the parliamentary committee. But the DP lawmakers refused to accept it, he told reporters.
According to the summit transcript, Roh told Kim that "I share similar views with you. The Northern Limit Line (NLL) should be changed."
North Korea has not recognized the North Limit Line (NLL), which was drawn by the U.S.-led United Nations Command at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, and demanded that the NLL be redrawn.
Roh also proposed that a bilateral cooperation zone, including joint fishing areas, be created in the West (Yellow) Sea.
He called the NLL "some sort of monster that can‘t be touched," saying that "there’s no basis for it under international law, and its logical basis is unclear. But in reality, it has strong power."
