North Korea and Russia are cementing their alliance with the construction of their first-ever road bridge, marking a significant step in expanding bilateral ties. The bridge, spanning a border river, is expected to bolster trade and tourism between the two nations, according to state media reports.
Russia's Tass news agency reported the bridge will stretch 1 kilometre (0.6 miles) and is projected to take 18 months to complete. North Korea's Korean Central News Agency echoed this announcement, emphasizing the bridge's role in facilitating cross-border movement of people and goods.
