The World : Korean Foes Hold Meeting

Legislators from old foes North and South Korea met for more than two hours at the truce village of Panmunjom, the first such talks in the 40 years since their country was partitioned at the end of World War II. The two sides agreed to meet again on Sept. 25, at a site to be picked later, and to set up a direct telephone line between the two parliaments. They also agreed to hold later talks in the two capitals, Seoul and Pyongyang. Red Cross officials from the south are to visit Pyongyang in August to discuss families separated by the partition and the 1950-53 Korean War.
