South Koreans are being warned by their government not to discuss politics during supervised reunions of families separated by the Korean War, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.
Hundreds of South Koreans this week are visiting their North Korean relatives in several rounds of highly supervised reunions.
The calls to refrain from discussing politics are not unusual, but the latest round of reunions come at a delicate time for both countries as they conduct ongoing negotiations.
The two sides held a historic meeting in April between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean president Moon Jae-in.
North and South Korean leaders announced on Monday that the countries will hold another summit in May, marking the third time the leaders will have gotten together.
Reunions between family members in the North and South have typically been hosted during times of relative calm between the two countries and are widely considered a step toward relaxing tensions between communist North Korea and U.
