Separated family members from the two Koreas will hold reunions with their long-lost kin across the border via video link on Thursday.

On the first day of reunions Thursday, around two-hundred North Korean family members will take part in the video reunions with their Southern families while on Friday some three-hundred-40 people from the South will participate in the program.

The video reunions, the second to be held in three months, will be conducted through video conferencing equipment linking 13 video reunion studios in nine major cities in the South with those in the North.

Four reunions will be held every day with each family allotted two hours to see and talk to their relatives via video.

Earlier in August, 40 separated family members - 20 each from the two Koreas - held video reunions with their long-lost kin across the border.

The two Koreas linked fiber optic cables connecting Munsan, Gyeonggi Province, with the North Korean border city of Gaesong in July in preparation for the event.
