Russia and North Korea have opened their first road bridge across the Tumen River. The bridge connects the border cities of Khasan and Rason. It will make it easier to move goods and people between the two countries. North Korea said the bridge will support trade, tourism and travel. Russia called it a new “symbol of friendship”. The bridge can handle up to 300 vehicles and 2,323 people each day. Russia said it will first carry cargo, with passenger travel expected later this year. The bridge comes as military and economic ties between Moscow and Pyongyang continue to grow.
