中国与朝鲜于10月15日正式开放新鸭绿江大桥,这是两国最重要的陆地边境通道2。该桥于2014年完工,但因朝鲜一侧连接道路未完成以及新冠疫情导致朝鲜关闭边境,致使大桥闲置了12年2。
中国总理李强表示两国关系"进入新阶段,开启新篇章"2。随着该通道的启用,中朝之间的列车往来也得以恢复——中朝列车于2026年3月重新开始运行,停运6年后重启2。研究人员预期每天将有数百辆车辆通行新桥2。
作为朝鲜最大的贸易伙伴,中国此举有望促进两国的贸易合作和人民交往2。尽管联合国制裁针对朝鲜的核导计划,这一新通道的开放可能影响朝鲜规避国际制裁的能力12。
China and North Korea formally inaugurated the new Yalu River Bridge on October 15, marking a significant development in their cross-border infrastructure 2. The bridge, which was completed in 2014, had remained unused for over a decade due to incomplete road connections on the North Korean side and border closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic 2.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang characterized the opening as a milestone, stating that bilateral relations have "entered a new stage and opened a new chapter" 2. The bridge serves as a crucial land border crossing between the two nations and is expected to facilitate increased trade cooperation and people-to-people exchanges 2. Researchers anticipate that hundreds of vehicles will traverse the bridge daily 2. This development follows the resumption of rail services between the countries in March 2026, which had been suspended for six years 2.
The infrastructure project gains added significance given China's position as North Korea's largest trading partner, even as international sanctions targeting North Korea's nuclear and missile programs remain in place 2.
