[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Despite the statement by Kim Yo-jong, Deputy Director of the North Korean Workers' Party, who indicated that a declaration of the end of the war and inter-Korean summits are possible, the North side did not respond to the South's attempts to communicate via the communication liaison line on the morning of the 27th.

The Ministry of Unification announced that the joint inter-Korean liaison office opening call did not take place at 9 a.m. that day.

The Ministry of Unification attempts regular calls twice a day at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (closing call).

Earlier, on the 24th and 25th, Kim Yo-jong positively evaluated the declaration of the end of the war proposed by President Moon Jae-in and left open the possibility of an inter-Korean summit through her statements.
