Kim Jong Un Visits China via Newly Opened Yalu River Bridge, Reports Say
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reportedly visited China’s border city of Dandong by crossing the newly opened New Yalu River Bridge, marking his first trip to China in over a year. The bridge, completed years ago but only recently opened, aims to enhance trade and connectivity between China and North Korea. This visit follows Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent trip to Pyongyang and reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral ties amid North Korea’s diplomatic and economic engagements with China and Russia.
