The Yalu River Bridge connecting China with North Korea officially opened to traffic on October 15, with a joint opening ceremony held by the two countries. The project has been long-awaited, with construction of the 3,026-metre-long bridge first beginning in 2010.
In a video address during the opening ceremony, Chinese Premier Li Qiang was reported by Chinese state media as saying that "relations between China and North Korea have entered a new stage, embarking on a new chapter".
