CHINA AND NORTH KOREA WILL OPEN LONG-DELAYED BRIDGE ON TUESDAY

The long-delayed New ‌Yalu River Bridge linking China and North Korea will open on Thursday, Chinese state news agency Xinhua said on Wednesday, signalling a renewed push to boost trade despite Pyongyang's lingering wariness of greater economic dependence.

The two sides will jointly hold an opening ceremony, the Xinhua report said. North Korea's state ​media did not immediately report on the plan. The bridge will be the largest and most significant ​land crossing for trade between the two countries.
