France 24 [en] · east asia

China and North Korea officially opened their most significant land border crossing on Thursday, aiming to rejuvenate trade and commerce after years of strained ties and pandemic-related disruptions. Trucks festooned with the national flags of the neighbours drove across the long-delayed 3-km (2-mile) New Yalu River Bridge, its ​towering pylons also ‌decked in flags, linking the Chinese city of Dandong with North Korea. FRANCE 24's Jan Camenzind Broomby reports.
