More Reunions Begin in Capitals
- Share via
One hundred elderly North Koreans arrived in Seoul today at the start of reunions for families separated by the Korean War. A similar delegation from South Korea prepared to fly to Pyongyang, the North’s capital.
The three-day reunions come despite setbacks in bilateral talks over the North’s demands for electricity from the South and differences over where to set up a permanent meeting place for future reunions.
The reunions are a product of a June summit in which South Korean President Kim Dae Jung and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il pledged better ties between the countries.
