“We have checked the communication line and are contacting each other,” it said.
This was confirmed by South Korea’s unification ministry who said that the North made contact via the phone line at exactly the time ordered. Pyongyang’s state-run TV station reported on Wednesday morning that the inter-Korean communications channel in the shared border village of Panmunjom would be opened at 3pm local time.
North Korea called South Korea on Wednesday on a hotline that had previously remained dormant for two years, in a major diplomatic breakthrough that could pave the way towards future peace talks.
