美관리 "2차 북미회담 전 이산가족 상봉할 수도"
The very first family reunion for Korean-Americans and their relatives in North Korea is looking like a possibility.
On Tuesday, Radio Free Asia cited a representative of the National Coalition of Divided Families, as saying a senior official mentioned the possibility during a phone call earlier this month with another group.
A U.S. State Department official reportedly told the group... that Washington has shifted its North Korea policy and made family reunions one of its top priorities.
The official added, the event could happen before what was called the next "nuclear talks," believed to be a reference to the second Pyeongyang-Washington summit expected to to be held next January.
According to the civic group leader, the reunion will likely happen via video or phone.
An initial list of those who wish to meet their relatives in the North will be delivered to the State Department.
More than 100-thousand Korean-Americans are believed to be separated from their family living in the regime.
