China and North Korea have officially opened their long-delayed New Yalu River Bridge, their most important land border crossing. The opening aims to boost trade and business between the two countries after years of disrupted cross-border activity due to the pandemic and strained relations. In recent days, trucks carrying Chinese flags were seen waiting on the bridge, while crowds gathered on the Chinese side. The opening marks an improvement in relations between Beijing and Pyongyang, following two summit meetings between their leaders over the past year. #northkorea #china #news #bridge
