North Korea has stated that the development of the first road bridge in Russia is a “significant” milestone between the two countries, reports the State Media of the CCC.
Construction of the bridge – installed on the Tumen River in the northeast of the country – began on Wednesday. It will be located near the only other land between Russia and North Korea – the Soviet era railway entitled “Friendship”.
The bridge is designed to complete by mid -2016, reports the Russian newspaper Kommersant.
This happens shortly after North Korea confirmed for the first time What he sent troops to support Russia in the war against Ukraine.
A new bridge-attachment sign of deepening ties between the two countries that have been strongly authorized, which have come since Russia has launched a complete invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Plans on the new bridge were resolved during Russian President Vladimir Putin Visit Pyongyang last yearWhere he signed an “comprehensive strategic partnership” agreement with North Korea – the highest level of bilateral ties for Moscow.
At the ceremony, which marks the beginning of the construction of the bridge, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said the bridge was “far beyond just an engineering task”.
“This symbolizes our common desire to strengthen friendly, conscientious relations and increase interregional cooperation,” he added.
The construction of the bridge began on the same day, which South Korean legislators said that more than 600 North Korean troops were killed in the fight for Russia in the war against Ukraine, citing their intelligence officials.
In return for military support, Moscow seemed to provide Pyongyang technical assistance in spy satellites, drones and air missiles, they added.
Earlier this week, North Korea said its soldiers helped “completely release” the Russian border region Kursk eight months after Ukraine’s unexpected invasion.
Ukraine says some of its forces are still in the Russian region.
