Prime Minister Kang Young Hoon said South Korea will propose that families separated on the divided Korean peninsula be allowed to have temporary reunions. Kang said the exchanges could begin around Chusok, the Korean Thanksgiving Day, which falls on Oct. 3. It would be the second time that the hostile nations have allowed separated families to visit each other. There are about 10 million members of families separated by the division of the peninsula in 1945.
