A group of South Koreans gathered in the northeast coastal city of Sokcho Sunday before heading to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for a reunion with their war-separated families.
The family reunion, which is hold during the celebration of the National Liberation Day of Korea, was announced in the Panmunjom Declaration for Peace after leaders from the two sides met in April.
Before meeting their family members on the other side, the South Koreans registered for the reunions at a hotel in Sokcho, got their health checked and were briefed on the procedures and protocols for the event.
The two sides will hold two rounds of reunion meetings. The South Koreans will leave for the venue Monday morning to stay there for three days.
The second round of reunion, involving 83 DPRK families who applied for gatherings with South Korean relatives, will be held from Friday to Sunday at the same venue, according to South Korean media.
Many separated families have not heard of their missing relatives in nearly 70 years since the Korean War was halted by armistice in 1953. Some waited a lifetime for news of their family which never came. For those who are still alive, everyone has a story of bitterness hanging on to their missing loved ones for decades. http://www.cctvplus.com/news/20180820...
