North, South Korea hold talks on family reunions


SEOUL: North and South Korea held talks Wednesday on resuming reunions for families separated by the Korean War - an emotive issue that Pyongyang has been accused of exploiting as a bargaining chip.

The meeting at the border truce village of Panmunjom - where the armistice ending the 1950-53 conflict was signed - aimed to set a date for what would be the first such reunion event since 2010.
