North Korea and Russia Open First Road Bridge Across Tumen River
North Korea and Russia have opened their first road bridge across the Tumen River, connecting Khasan in Russia with Tumangang in North Korea. The one-kilometre, two-lane bridge is expected to enhance trade, tourism, and economic cooperation, allowing up to 300 vehicles daily. The project, agreed during President Putin's 2024 visit to Pyongyang, complements existing rail and air links. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin highlighted the bridge as a milestone in deepening strategic ties between the two countries.
