Abductee to Meet Mother at Reunions

The third group of South Korean family members to the 14th inter-Korean family reunions will bid farewell to their long-lost North Korean kin Tuesday at the North's Mount Geumgang resort.

More than four-hundred South Koreans will have their last minutes with a hundred of their North Korean relatives before heading to Sokcho, South Korea in the early afternoon.

From Wednesday, the fourth and last group of a hundred-50 South Koreans will cross the border for another three-day reunion. South Korean Kim Young-nam, abducted by North Korea in 1978, is also scheduled to meet his mother from the South for the first time in 28 years at the reunion.

The latest round of the Red Cross-sponsored reunion comes as a special event to mark the sixth anniversary of the 2000 inter-Korean summit.
