"South and North Korea on July 27 at 10:00 (04:00 Moscow time) decided to restore the communication lines that had been broken all this time and made the first call," RIA Novosti quoted the administration as saying.

It is noted that the agreement was reached after the exchange of messages between the leaders of the two countries.

Earlier, South Korean leader Moon Jae-in said that South Korea welcomes US President Joe Biden's approach to the DPRK.
