North Korea accepts Seoul's offer and will discuss its participation in the upcoming PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
The breakthrough, according to Pyongyang's official media, has matured at the disposal of the leader Kim Jong-un who "appreciated" the support for his peace opening by arranging for today the restoration of the direct channel of communication with South Korea.
North Korea has announced that it will reopen the channel in a further promising signal on the front of the dialogue: according to the state radio, the operation will take place today at the border village of Panmunjom at 15:00 in Pyongyang.

There is no way that the United States will tolerate even a whiff of cooperation between North and South Korea. If these talks go any further than discussing the Winter Olympics you can expect an 'event' to occur that will ensure that bad relations are restored. The only thing preventing peace in many countries is the United States and its allies continual meddling in thier affairs.
@jimbobbill yes it may be that the United States interfere, but I hope there is cooperation at the political level to achieve a level of peace that will ensure a peaceful life for both peoples.
That's my point. Whenever there is any sign of cooperation something happens to end it and I believe the United States are the ones that make said things happen in a lot of cases. If North and South Korea were left alone to confront their issues they just might realise that there really isn't any reason for them to be at war with each other and the only country that benefits is the United States. Divide and rule. The oldest tactics are often still the most effective. Forgot to upvote your post so will do it now.
@jimbobbill I respect your point of view and share it partly.
