South and North Korea began working on the level of the Red Cross on Friday to reunite families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War.

Three-member delegates from both sides started dialogue at the Peace House in the South Korean side of the truce village of Panmunjom.

The Red Cross officials are expected to discuss a date, venue and participants for the family reunion.

For her part, South Korean President Park Geun-hye stated that she hopes that the reunion could be held around one of the most important traditional holidays in South Korea on September 19.

"Inter-Korean working-level Red Cross contacts are to be held in around three years. The family reunion issue is a humanitarian one that should be solved most urgently by the government," Lee Duk-haeng, Seoul's chief delegate said.

Moreover, Lee added that the delegates will do their best to alleviate pains of separated families by holding talks sincerely.
