China-North Korea bridge opens after delays
A new bridge connecting China and North Korea was inaugurated on Thursday after 12 years of construction, reflecting a deepening of economic ties between the two countries. The bridge is 3,026 meters long and designated for vehicles. It was opened after delays caused by logistical issues and the COVID-19 pandemic, as construction was completed in 2014. The bridge is expected to facilitate the passage of hundreds of vehicles daily, potentially boosting the flow of goods and the economic benefit for North Korea, especially given its limited current capacities. This opening comes at a time when attention is focused on improving relations between North and South Korea and Russia through joint infrastructure projects.
