Pyongyang and Seoul on Friday agreed to hold a reunion event for families separated by the Korean War between August 20 and 26.

The event, which will be held on the occasion of Korea’s National Liberation Day and will take place at Mt Kumgang, will involve “100 individuals from each side respectively,” a joint statement by the two Koreas read.

People with mobility issues can be accompanied by one family member, it added.

Family reunions have not taken place since October 2015, largely due to strained inter-Korean relations in the wake of Pyongyang fourth nuclear test in January 2016.
