Experts from the two Koreas have discussed technical details of online video reunions of separated families slated for next month.

At talks in the North Korean border city of Gaesong Wednesday, the two sides focused on how to arrange video links for families separated during the Korean War.

Officials who attended the meeting said they agreed to set up video conferencing studios in Red Cross branches in the two Koreas, and discussed a possible connection via cross-border fiber optic cables.

At the 15th inter-Korean ministerial talks in Seoul last week, the two Koreas agreed to go over preparations on July 10th for the video reunions on August 15th.

Wednesday's talks came after the North requested an additional meeting on technical matters, citing limited time to organize the reunions.

More than one million people in the North fled for the South during the Korean War.

Some 10,000 separated families from each side have met long-lost relatives through reunions since 1985, and tens of thousands more, mostly elderly and in frail health, seek to do the same.
