Seoul says it hopes move will be a ‘foundation’ to rebuilding ties tested by a recent series of missile launches.
North and South Korea have restored their cross-border hotline, the government in Seoul said on Monday, with officials exchanging their first phone call since August.
The move comes just days after Pyongyang sparked international concern with a series of missile tests in the span of a few weeks, prompting an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
Seoul’s unification ministry confirmed that officials from the two Koreas exchanged their first phone call since August on Monday morning.
