North and South Korea will open a joint liaison office this week to improve cross-border communications and exchanges.
The office is a significant move in thawing relations between the two countries, and follows a meeting this month between the North's leader Kim Jong-un and a South Korean presidential envoy.
The opening of the office – initially scheduled for last month – was delayed amid diplomatic deadlock.
The office will be situated at what used to be the Seoul-invested industrial zone at the North's Kaesong City.
