North, South Korea agree to hold reunion for displaced families during Korean War
North and South Koreas have agreed to hold a reunion for families separated by the Korean War later this month.
The move is the first of its kind since 2010, announced Wednesday.
Officials from both sides decided the reunion would be held from 20 to 25 February at the North's Mount Kumgang resort.
The South's Unification Ministry said that they hoped the latest agreement would be smoothly carried out to ease the suffering and pain of separated families, the Washington Times reports.
The agreement comes just weeks before the South and the United States are planning joint military exercises. North Korea has warned of dire consequences if the exercises go ahead.
