韓國呼籲恢復讓韓戰離散家庭團聚活動
South Korea's president has called for resuming reunions of families separated by the Korean War, and promised increased humanitarian aid to the impoverished North.
At her televised New Year news conference Monday, President Park Geun-hye said she wants the reunions to take place on the Lunar New Year's Day on January 31 to "heal wounded hearts."
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called last week for improved ties in his New Year's Day speech, which also included a threat of nuclear war.
President Park responded Monday that what is important is not words, but action and sincerity. She told reporters that since the execution of Kim Jong Un's uncle, Jang Song Thaek last month, it has been harder to predict what the North might do next.
North Korea canceled a round of reunions last year, blaming hostility from the South.韓國總統朴槿惠呼籲恢復讓韓戰離散家庭團聚活動，並承諾爲貧困的朝鮮提供更多人道援助。
朴槿惠星期一在電視轉播的新年記者會上表示，希望能在1月31日的農曆新年舉辦離散家庭團聚活動，以“彌合心頭的創傷”。
朝鮮領導人金正恩上星期發表新年講話，呼籲同韓國改善關係，同時在講話中發出核戰爭威脅。
朴槿惠總統星期一做出迴應說，重要的不是言辭，而是行動和誠意。她對記者們說，金正恩的姑父張成澤上月被處決後，朝鮮的行爲變得更加難以預測。
朝鮮去年取消了一次離散家庭團聚，並將此歸咎於韓國方面的敵意。
