South and North Korea agreed on Thursday to hold a new round of reunions for separated families with a video conferencing system, the South Korean Red Cross said.

The agreement was reached at a meeting between Red Cross officials of the two sides at the truce village of Panmunjom on the day.

Under the agreement, the video reunion will be held from November 14 to 15.

It will be the seventh such reunion since the two sides conducted the first one in 2005.
