It comes days after Kim Jong-un said he would restore communication as a conditional olive branch.
North Korea has restored communication lines with the South, months after it cut a cross-border hotline.
However, Pyongyang also said the restoration of their relationship was dependent on the "attitude of South Korean authorities".It has fired four missiles in less than a month - a sign that it has no intention of slowing down its arms development.On Monday morning, South Korea's unification ministry said officials from both Koreas exchanged their first phone call since August.
In the same year, North Korea severed all communication lines with the South, including a hotline between both leaders and military communication channels after tensions worsened.
