The United States supported the restoration of contacts between the DPRK and South Korea

This was stated by the deputy head of the press service of the US Department of State Jalina Porter.

“The United States supports inter-Korean dialogue and engagement and, of course, today's announcement of the restoration of inter-Korean lines of communication.

We, of course, believe that this is a positive step, "RIA Novosti quotes her.

According to her, diplomacy and dialogue are integral to achieving full denuclearization and the establishment of permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Earlier, the administration of the President of the Republic of Korea said that the communication lines between South Korea and the DPRK, broken in 2020, have been restored.
