The sixth inter-Koreas video meeting of separated families and relatives concluded on Tuesday, said the official news agency of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
In total, 563 relatives of separated families from the DPRK and South Korea participated in the two-day meeting at two video-chatting rooms in Pyongyang and Seoul.
According to the agreement signed between the red-cross associations of the DPRK and South Korea, the two sides are going to hold another video-meeting in this autumn.
The Korean peninsula split into the North DPRK and South Korea shortly after the liberation from Japan's colonial rule in 1945.
The divided states still technically remain in a state of conflict as the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce, not a peace treaty. But relations have warmed significantly since their leaders met for the first time in 2000.
