China and North Korea officially marked the long-delayed opening of their most significant land border crossing on Oct 15, aiming to rejuvenate trade and commerce after years of soured ties and pandemic-related disruptions to cross-border exchange.

The 3km-long New Yalu River Bridge and the Chinese customs complex at the end of the 1.3km crossing saw increased activity over the past few days, with trucks waiting and travelling on the bridge on the first day of its opening.
