North Korea and Russia have begun building their first road link, the two countries said, hailing the construction of a bridge over a border river as a major development that will boost ties.

The bridge would be 1-km-long and its construction is expected to take 18 months, expanding cross-border travel and trade. Relations and exchange programmes between the two countries have been flourishing in recent years, with North Korea supplying ammunitions and troops to support Russia’s war against Ukraine. 


One railway bridge and air service already connect North Korea and Russia, and in June 2024, the two countries agreed to construct a bridge for automobiles over the Tumen River, which runs along North Korea’s borders with Russia and China.
