Korea: Hotline' Restored With Missile Tests!

North Korea and South Korea on Monday restored a communication hotline that had been stalled for several weeks. North Korea recently expressed its desire to restore a "hotline" with North Korea by conducting several missile tests. Seoul's unification ministry said the liaison officers of the two Koreas exchanged messages on a cross-border communication channel on Monday morning.

To pave the way for bright prospects in future, important priority tasks should be completed. Seoul's unification ministry said the restoration of the 'hotline' laid the foundation for the restoration of relations between the two countries. Seoul hopes to resume talks soon to discuss how to implement previous cooperation agreements and establish peace on the Korean peninsula, a ministry statement said.
