Two Koreas Reach Agreement on Inter-Korean Family Reunions
South and North Korea have agreed to resume reunions next month for families separated by the Korean War.
After a near two-year suspension the gatherings will now take place from September 26th to October 1st prior to Korea’s traditional holiday of Chuseok with the number of participating families set at 100 from each side.
Red Cross officials from the two countries wrapped up three days of talks this Friday issuing a joint statement which says they will hold reunions at two separate locations: a group reunion at a venue in the Mount Geumgang resort and an individual one at a hotel there.
As for other humanitarian issues the two sides pledged to further negotiate aiming to improve inter-Korean ties.
