South and North Korea have restored hotlines that Pyongyang severed a year ago when ties deteriorated sharply

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and South Korea’s Moon Jae-have agreed in letters to restore relations, improving the prospects for a breakthrough in an extended stalemate in nuclear talks.

The two countries released what appeared to be coordinated statements calling for reconciliation on the peninsula, with state media in Pyongyang stating that they agreed.

“to make a big stride in recovering the mutual trust.”

North and South Korea restore relations

Both sides reopened hotlines that had been silent since a flare-up a year ago, when Kim’s regime symbolically blew up a liaison office funded by Moon’s government.

Seoul’s defense ministry confirmed that a military hotline was tested on Tuesday and that twice-daily regular communication would resume.

The effort to thaw relations came on the 68th anniversary of the armistice that halted fighting in the 1950-53 Korean War, a conflict that has never formally ended.

Last week, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman reaffirmed President Joe Biden’s openness to talks during a visit to Seoul in which she met South Korean officials, including Moon.
