North and South Korea have agreed to restart a program to permit the reunion of families separated by the Korean War.

South Korea's Unification Ministry said Tuesday the reunions will be held from October 20 through the 26 at Mount Kumgang in North Korea.

North Korean state media confirmed the agreement. Reports said the two sides reached the agreement following negotiations. The talks began Monday and continued through the night. One hundred people from each country will be chosen to take part in the family reunions. They are the first reunions to be held since February 2014.
