Seoul: Elderly South Koreans headed back home on Sunday after brief, emotional meetings with their long-lost kin residing in North Korea in the second round of the inter-Korean family reunions.
More than 300 South Koreans, from 81 families, left the North’s Mount Kumgang resort, wrapping up their three-day visit for temporary reunions with their family members separated for decades after the 1950-53 Korean War, reports Yonhap News Agency. Throughout the reunions, the families meet up a total of 12 times. The latest reunion event comes amid a thaw in inter-Korean relations. (IANS)
