It has been reported that North and South Korea have agreed to hold another round of reunions for divided families. As part of the recent thaw in intra-Korean relations, the sides agreed to hold the next (20th) meeting of the divided families.
The meeting is scheduled for late October, so there is a fairly high chance that another North Korean missile launch, likely to happen in early October, will disrupt the plans. Nonetheless, it is still probably a good time to discuss the origins and current state of the “divided families” issue.
