South Korea Seeks to Reopen Communication With North Korea

South Korea's President Moon Jae-in has expressed his desire to reopen communication between his country and North Korea.

The plan is aimed at calming tensions between the nations, with South Korea hoping that it will be able to use the dialogue to rein in North Korea's nuclear and missiles program.
