Twelve years after its construction, a new bridge between China and North Korea was opened on Thursday to deepen economic relations

Twelve years after its establishment, a new bridge between China and North Korea will be opened on Thursday, as a prominent indication of the deepening of economic relations between the two countries. The opening of this bridge has been delayed since 2014 due to problems related to the lack of connecting roads and customs facilities on the North Korean side, according to the South Korean news agency. Beijing is Pyongyang's largest trading partner and a vital source of diplomatic, economic and political support for the nuclear-armed state.
