Separated family reunions

Lee Sun-kyu, a 85-year-old South Korean, meets with her 83-year-old husband, Oh In-se, during the reunions of families separated by the Korean War (1950-1953) at a resort on Mt. Geumgang on North Korea's east coast, Tuesday. The reunions were held as part of an agreement struck between the two Koreas on Aug. 25 to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula. Since August 2008, 19 rounds of inter-Korean family reunions have been held in North Korea, with the last one taking place in February 2014.
