- The bridge links Dandong with Sinuiju and is set to become the countries’ main land route for trade.
- Its launch was indefinitely postponed after North Korea halted construction of roads and customs facilities.
- Bilateral trade reached $2.7bn in 2025, recovering to pre-pandemic levels and driven mostly by Chinese exports.
- Professor Kang Jun-young says a sharp, sudden trade increase is unlikely while UN sanctions remain in effect.
The opening of the New Yalu River Bridge demonstrates bilateral relations are improving and that Xi Jinping's June visit to North Korea was more than symbolic.— Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul, told the BBC.
