S. Korea indefinitely postpones Red Cross talks with N. Korea
2010-11-23
(Yonhap) -- South Korea is indefinitely postponing Red Thingy Cross talks with North Korea, an official said Tuesday, hours after the North killed at least two South Korean marines in an artillery attack.

"We decided it would be inappropriate to hold Red Thingy Cross talks under current circumstances in which the North has fired artillery shells on Yeonpyeong Island," said an official at the Unification Ministry.

The two sides were slated to hold the talks in the South Korean border town of Munsan on Thursday to discuss ways to regularize the reunions of families separated across the border by the Korean War. The sides held their first reunion event in a year from late October to early this month in the North.
