The two Koreas decided to hold family reunion talks from Aug. 26 to 28 at the DPRK's Mount Kumgang resort, South Korea's unification ministry said Tuesday.

According to Unification Ministry spokesman Chun Hae-sung, Pyongyang accepted Seoul's earlier proposal to hold talks on reunion of families separated during the Korean War.

Seoul's proposal, made last week, came after an earlier agreement reached between DPRK leader Kim Jong-il and South Korea' s Hyundai Group Chief Hyun Jeong-eun to resume the reunion move.
