Koreas Hold Family Reunions Via Video Link

Hundreds of North and South Koreans held emotional family reunions through video links Tuesday as part of renewed reconciliation efforts between the two countries. South Korea's oldest participant, who is 102-year-old , met his North Korean son for the first time in decades. Millions of families were separated by the division of the Korean peninsula in 1945.

Three days of video reunions are being held for 865 people from 120 families. The two Koreas plan to resume face-to-face reunions in May at North Korea's Mount Kumgang.

North and South Korea resumed talks and exchanges this month after Pyongyang agreed in February to go forward with a nuclear deal.

数百名南北韩人星期二通过视频联线心情激动地和亲人团聚。这是南北韩和解的最新努力。参加团聚的人当中最年长的102岁韩国老人几十年来第一次看到了生活在北韩的儿子。1945年朝鲜半岛分裂造成数百万家庭离散。

三天的视频团聚活动中，有120个家庭的865人将通过视频得以见面。南北韩计划5月在北韩金刚山恢复离散家庭面对面团聚。

北韩今年2月同意了一项有关核问题的协议，此后南北韩本月恢复了会谈和交流。
