WorldChina and North Korea open border bridge after 12-year delay

China and North Korea officially opened the New Yalu River Bridge on Thursday, their most significant land crossing, seeking to revive trade after years of strained ties and disruption. Completed in 2014, it had remained unused because North Korean access roads were unfinished and the pandemic led to border closures. Its opening is the latest sign of warming relations.
