SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea announced today that it would resume reunions of families separated by the border with South Korea and restart stalled tourism ventures in its latest gesture of conciliation after nearly 18 months of rising tensions.
The North, however, said in a separate statement that it was putting its army on “special alert” because of South Korea’s joint military drills with the United States this week.
Tours to the Diamond Mountain resort and ancient sights in Kaesong in the North were suspended after the inauguration of a conservative government in Seoul early last year.
