The South Korean Red Cross President Kim Sung-joo revealed plans to hold discussions with the North Korean counterpart agency on ways to regularize family reunions of those separated by the Korean War.

At a ceremony on Thursday marking the 110th anniversary of the establishment of the Korean Red Cross, the organization proclaimed its strategies to prepare for unification.

Noting that the year 2015 marks the 70th year of the division of the peninsula, Kim said that the KRC wants to discuss with North Korea on ways to confirm whether the separated families across the border are still alive. 

The Red Cross chief said that her agency will survey its data of some 68-thousand South Korean people separated from their families in the North to discuss with the North Korean counterpart on ways to facilitate cross-border letter exchanges.

Kim also said the Korean Red Cross will seek full-scale inter-Korean exchange projects in 2015 to create a peaceful atmosphere on the Korean peninsula. Kim said the organization is preparing to supply powdered milk for North Korea's vulnerable social groups, including infants, as well as general relief materials, medicine and medical equipment. It also plans to launch an inter-Korean youth tree planting event.
