The Red Cross of the Republic of Korea (ROK) has proposed working-level talks with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on September 7 to discuss the reunion of families separated by the 1950-1953 Korean War, the Unification Ministry said on Friday.
The talks were suggested to be held at the truce village of Panmunjom inside the demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that divides the two Koreas, Unification Ministry spokesman Jeong Joon-hee said.
The reunion was expected to be held during the upcoming Chuseok holiday that falls in late September.
Millions of Koreans have been separated for six decades after the Korean War ended in a 1953 armistice. The last family reunion was held at the DPRK's mountain resort of Kumgang in February 2014.
