Seoul, Apr 20: In a major development, South and Korean authorities are all set to set up a telephone line between the two leaders of the nation, media reports said.
The telephone line is installed to enable direct dialogue between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, as per media reports.
"The hotline between the leaders will be connected tomorrow and working-level officials will conduct a trial call," presidential spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom was quoted as saying by South Korean news agency Yonhap.
The two Koreas have agreed that President Moon Jae-in and North Korea leader Kim Jong-un will hold telephone talks before the summit, reported the news agency.
However, the date for the telephone talks between the two leaders has not been fixed so far.
The move has been made just days before South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un are set to meet in person on Apr 27.
