Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon expressed hope that the two Koreas will hold reunions of families separated by the Korean War around Liberation Day on August 15th or the Chuseok holidays in October.

Appearing on KBS' "Inside the Issue" which aired on Sunday, Lee remarked that inter-Korean exchanges have taken place in various sporting areas and expressed hope that the two Koreas could take one step farther to hold inter-Korean family reunions.

The prime minister added that the nation’s North Korea policy is not different from that of the international community’s seeking sanctions and pressure, but efforts to seek dialogue should not stop.

In addition, Lee said that the Fair Trade Commission is preparing a strong measure to require conglomerates to support small businesses. He said that the government could promote income-led economic growth by actively supporting small firms and thus increasing wages for non-regular workers.
