North Korea is proposing that inter-Korean family reunions be held three or four times a year.

The North made the proposal during a meeting between the Red Cross Societies of the two Koreas at the North Korean border city of Gaeseong on Tuesday.

The chief negotiator for the North Korean side, Choi Song-ik, said that such reunions should be held during traditional holiday seasons, with 100 members of separated families participating from each side. He also suggested that video conference reunions and exchanges of videotaped messages be held for separated families.

In response, the head of the South Korean side, Kim Yong-hyeon, proposed monthly reunions for 100 families at a reunion center at the North’s Mount Geumgang resort starting in March of next year.

He also proposed that the two sides allow those family members who have already met to meet again on a monthly basis.

The two sides are coordinating responses to the proposals.

North Korea also pressed South Korea to take steps to resume dialogue in order to restart suspended cross-border tourism projects.

Three delegates from each side are taking part in the talks that are expected to end Wednesday. The last time the two Koreas held Red Cross talks was in August of last year.
