Seoul, Dhu-AlQa'dah 12, 1436, August 27, 2015, SPA -- Seoul plans to push for a resumption of reunions of Korean family members separated by the decades-long division of the peninsula when the next round of talks with North Korea commences, an official said Thursday, according to dpa. "For us, the family reunion issue tops the agenda," a presidential spokesman said after a meeting of senior officials on the topic. Tensions between the rival neighbours flared recently, only coming under control after a six-point agreement was reached early Tuesday. "If the North wants to show us they are taking the agreement seriously, they can do so by solving this issue first," the spokesman said. "Otherwise, we won't be able to move to other issues." --SPA 15:09 LOCAL TIME 12:09 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
