China has agreed to provide funding to complete the New Yalu River Bridge, connecting Dandong in China with Sinuiju in North Korea, which would significantly enhance commerce between the two countries. The bridge's construction was finished nine years ago but has not been put into operation due to delays on the North Korean side. The new bridge, intended to replace the old Sino-Korean Friendship bridge, is expected to boost the economy by facilitating increased imports and exports. However, the bridge will not open until customs facilities are built on the North Korean side.
