Separated Families Meet Via Video For Two Days

Families separated by the Korean War will meet with their beloved ones in the sixth round of video reunions Monday and Tuesday.

Some 560 members from 40 families in the North and South will be reunited through four rounds of online video links in Pyongyang and eight other cities in South Korea.

The oldest member participating in this round is 108-year-old South Korean Kim Geum-soo who will meet with her granddaughter in North Korea.

Roughly 26-hundred members from 400 families have been reunited so far through the five rounds of video reunions.

The reunion comes at a time when Seoul is seeking to expand the number and size of the meeting during the second inter-Korean summit scheduled for August 28th.

A mammoth center for face-to-face family reunions is nearing completion at the North’s Mount Geumgang resort.
