Two Koreas agree to hold family reunions as scheduled

SEOUL -- Republic of Korea (ROK) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) agreed Friday to hold the family reunions from February 20 to 25 as scheduled, ROK chief delegate of the inter-Korean high-level talks told a press conference.

Kim Kyou-hyun, head of the ROK delegation, told reporters that the two Koreas will hold the reunion of separated families as scheduled, referring to the three-point agreement reached between Seoul and Pyongyang at the second round of high-level talks in the border truce village of Panmunjeom.

Delegations from both sides also agreed to stop slandering each other to enhance mutual understanding and trust, while continuing to consult with each other on mutual interests and making efforts to develop the inter-Korean relations.

Kim said that the two Koreas agreed to hold another high-level dialogue when both sides feel comfortable.
