Two Koreas to open liaison office with “round-the-clock” channels on Friday: MOU

Heads of liaison office will deliver messages from Moon and Kim to each other "if necessary"

Seoul and Pyongyang will open a joint inter-Korean liaison office with “round-the-clock” communication channels on Friday, the South Korean Ministry of Unification (MOU) announced on Wednesday.

The two Koreas are set to operate the liaison office with resident representatives at the now-shuttered Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC), ahead of the third meeting between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next week in Pyongyang.
