N. Korea says will open inter-Korean hotline: Seoul
SEOUL, Jan 3, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Pyongyang said Wednesday it will restore the
inter-Korean hotline with the South at 0630 GMT, after Seoul proposed high-
level talks in response to Kim Jong-Un’s calls for better relations and
suggestion his country might attend the Winter Olympics.
“North Korea’s KCTV said the North will open a dialogue channel with the
South at 3:30 p.m. (0630 GMT) today”, a South Korean Unification Ministry
spokesman told AFP.
