North and South Korea agreed on Friday to reunite families separated by the 1950-1953 by the Korean War, a major step as relations between the two former foes continues to warm.
The countries agreed to hold military and Red Cross talks later in June to work toward reducing tensions, and they also agreed to a meeting between senior officials to establish a liaison office at the border, the Associated Press reported.
In another attempt at reconciliations between the two nations, the talks in June will also include a discussion on combining teams for some sports at the Asian Games in August.
As the U.S. continues its push to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, the South works on building a stronger, more trusting relationship.
“If we continue to engage with each other like we did today, there will be no problem that can’t be solved between the South and North,” South Korean Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon said after Friday’s meeting.
