China-North Korea train arrives in Pyongyang after 6-year halt
A passenger train from China arrived in the North Korean capital Thursday, state media said, after a six-year hiatus since the service was suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic. China is North Korea's largest trading partner and a vital source of diplomatic, economic and political support for the isolated nuclear state. Train journeys between the East Asian neighbours were halted in 2020 under strict border closures to prevent the coronavirus from spreading.
