China, North Korea resume train service after six-year suspension

“The weekly service from Beijing to North Korea, which will only be available for business-related travel, will be available on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, according to the railway. A separate international passenger train between Dandong and Pyongyang will run daily in both directions.”

“The resumption of passenger rail service marks one of the most significant steps toward restoring cross-border travel between China and North Korea since the pandemic.”

“Only Russians are currently allowed to travel to North Korea as foreign tourists. More than 10,000 Russian visitors — a new record — traveled to North Korea last year for tourism and official delegation visits, according to official figures.”
