The Red Cross of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Thursday agreed with South Korea's proposal that separated family members need a permanent reunion area where they can meet.

"I acknowledge your position that the fourth inter-Korean Red Cross talks should agree on ways to fundamentally and institutionally deal with separated family issues, including the setup of a reunion center," DPRK Red Cross Chairman Jang Jae-on said in a telephone message to his South Korean counterpart Suh Young-hoon, according to South Korea national news agency Yonhap News.

Jang made the meaningful remarks while notifying Suh of the five members of the delegation to the upcoming Red Cross talks, which will be led by himself, said Yonhap.

South Korean has informed DPRK of its list of Red Cross talks delegates on Aug. 24, whose chief negotiator is Suh Yong-hoon.

The two sides exchanged the candidate lists of the reunions of the separated family members on the same day.
