Wrap up of 21st Family Reunions
- 6 years ago
We can find solice in the fact that inter-Korean relations have improved... a lot.
The rapid thaw, might help ensure the reunions take place more often?
Yeah, South Korean authorities are very eager to make that happen.
Throughout last week's reunions, the head of South Korea's Red Cross Park Kyung-seo was at Mount Kumgang with the families... and he met with his North Korea counterpart Pak Yong-il -- the head of North Korea's Red Cross.
They agreed to work to hold one more reunion within this year, possibly at the end of October,.. before it gets too cold.
The specifics would have to be ironed out through working-level talks,... but at least we know South and North Korea now see eye-to-eye on the need for these family reunions and their importance as a humanitarian issue.
