North Korea Restores Hotline with South

North Korea has announced it would restore an official hotline with South Korea.

Pyongyang's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) said on Friday that the hotline - suspended by the North in March as military tensions flared - would be restored from 2:00 pm local time.

North Korea has also invited South Korean officials to Kaesong for talks on Sunday on restarting operations at the factory zone, after the two sides agreed in principle to talks on Thursday.

Seoul has agreed to Sunday talks but wants them to take place at Panmunjom, the BBC informs.

Work at the Kaesong industrial zone has been halted since April, amid high regional tensions.

The Kaesong complex, established in 2004 as a symbol of inter-Korean cooperation, was the most high-profile casualty of the recent tensions.
