Tuesday’s proposal comes after South Korea last week proposed talks on preserving a historic North Korean site and allowed lawmakers to visit a North Korean border city.
Seoul’s Red Cross chief Yu Jung-keun told reporters her side wants to hold talks next week.
The Koreas last held family reunions in November 2010. Their relations plunged later that month after the North bombarded a front-line South Korean island. The Korean peninsula remains technically at war after the 1950’s conflict ended in a truce.
The talks would come amid the leadership transition taking place in the North following the death of leader Kim Jong Il in December.
