Red Cross officials from the two Koreas will convene for talks at North Korea’s Mount Geumgang Tuesday. The three-day discussions will focus on the return of South Korean prisoners of war and abductees.

Seoul is expected to propose launching efforts to determine the whereabouts of POWs and abductees and subsequent exchanges of letters or reunions with their relatives in the South.

The official said Seoul will propose holding an additional family reunion via video link during the talks as well as allowing families who held video reunions with separated relatives on Liberation Day to exchange letters and gifts.

The North denies ever detaining POWs, but is believed to still hold around five-hundred-South Korean POWs and four-hundred-80 South Koreans abducted to the North after the Korean War.

The Red Cross talks, the sixth of their kind, come nearly a year-and-a-half after the last round of discussions in November 2002.
