The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Thursday continued its contact with the Republic of Korea (ROK) through a reopened cross-border communications channel. 

Thursday's first hotline call was made at 9:30 a.m. local time (8:30 a.m. BJT) to examine the communication lines, said ROK's Ministry of Unification. 

The cross-border hotline linking the two countries, which had been out of action for two years, was reopened on Wednesday.

Through the hotlines, the two countries reportedly discussed the possible bilateral talks.
