 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Hundreds of North and South Koreans held tearful reunions via video Tuesday as part of revived reconciliation efforts on the divided peninsula after the North agreed to start dismantling its nuclear weapons program.
The reunions come weeks after the two sides agreed at high-level talks to put their relations back on track after they soured last year following the North's missile and nuclear tests.
Millions of Korean families were separated following the division of the Korean peninsula in 1945 and the 1950-53 Korean War. There is no direct mail, telephone service or other form of communication between ordinary citizens across the border, as the two Koreas remain technically at war.
