S.Koreans Arrive in DPRK to Reunite with Separated Family Members

A South Korean delegation arrived in Pyongyang, capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), to reunite with their separated family members in the DPRK on Monday afternoon.

Family members from both sides will meet in a hotel in Pyongyang on later Monday, the first meeting of the scheduled five, and then watch acrobatics.

The exchange of separated family members is part of the June 15 Joint Declaration reached in 2000 between South Korean President Kim Dae-jung and DPRK leader Kim Jong Il at their historic summit in Pyongyang, in which both sides agreed to work toward promoting reconciliation on the Korean peninsula.
