China and North Korea have officially opened the New Yalu River Bridge, a four-lane road link between Dandong, China, and Sinuiju, North Korea, after a 12-year delay. The opening creates a major new route for cross-border trade and comes as the two countries expand ties despite international sanctions on North Korea. One report notes the opening follows a similar road bridge launch between North Korea and Russia about a month earlier.
