Korea Talks Include Family Ties
- Share via
BEIJING — North Korean negotiators holding talks here with the rival South agreed Sunday to discuss allowing reunions among millions of families separated since the 1950-53 Korean War.
Progress in the first high-level contact between the two Koreas in four years followed a blunt message by the South that large-scale food aid depended on political concessions.
Talks that began Saturday moved to a discussion of family reunions and the South’s proposals to exchange envoys and reopen liaison offices in the border truce village of Panmunjom.
North Korean delegates emerged after almost two hours of talks and said negotiations would resume today.
