Russia and North Korea Complete Bridge

Russia and North Korea are working to complete their first land bridge connecting them across the Tumen River between the Russian city of Khasan and North Korea's Tomanangag village, aiming to strengthen trade and military cooperation between the two countries. Although the bridge is officially announced as a means to boost commerce and tourism, investigations suggest it may primarily be intended for transporting military forces and logistics, especially amid increasing military collaboration between Moscow and Pyongyang, and support for the war efforts in Ukraine. The project has cost over $100 million, and the trade exchange between the two countries in 2024 is estimated at around $34 million. There are indicators that it serves as a strategic corridor to enhance military cooperation, while the Russian side is also building additional facilities to support this purpose.
