9th Reunion of Separated Families and Relatives Closes

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Mt. Kumgang Resort, April 3 (KCNA) -- The 9th reunion of separated families and relatives that started at Mt. Kumgang resort closed. Southerners already met their families and relatives from the north. Then northerners met their kinsmen from the south.
    Those from the north side had a collective reunion with their families and relatives from the south Thursday.
    They were separated from each other in their young days due to the national division caused by outsiders. It was not until the twilight years of their lives that they could have the chance to reunite with each other. Finding it hard to repress their joy at the reunion, they hugged each other, exchanged greetings and conveyed tidings from their families.
    The kinsmen from the north told their families and relatives from the south side about the happy life they and their families have led in the north, recollecting with pride their worthwhile life under the warm care of the Republic.
    They had family-to-family reunions with their kinsmen from the south Friday.
    The separated families and relatives from the north and the south expressed their willingness to work together for reunification and patriotism, singing songs and having photographs taken in a family atmosphere.
    Meanwhile, the Red Cross of south Korea arranged a reception for the separated families and relatives of both sides.
