South and North Korea began a working-level meeting at 10 a.m. Monday to discuss reunions of families separated during the Korean War.
 
The meeting at South Korea's Peace House in the truce village of Panmunjeom is the first of its kind in 19 months, coming as a result of recent high-level agreements between the two nations.
 
At the meeting, the two Koreas' Red Cross organizations are expected to discuss details such as the timing, size and venue for the reunions.
 
Speculation is growing that the reunions will take place at Mount Geumgang in North Korea in the beginning or middle of next month with about 100 family members from each side.
 
Seoul is also expected to propose holding reunions on a regular basis and exchanging a list of separated families in order to confirm the fate of those who were separated.
