North Korea and Russia recently had a meeting that I reported on both @the-bishop-ufc and this account. One topic that came up in this meeting was the suggestion to build a bridge that would connect Russia’s Primorsky Region with North Korea. RT reported:
“This question was discussed during Vladimir Putin’s meeting with the North Korean leader. The head of the state tasked the Far Eastern Development Ministry with analyzing this project,” Yuri Trutnev said on Monday.
The ministry said earlier that North Korea will provide workforce and construction materials for the project while Russia will “give the necessary equipment.”
The automobile bridge is planned to be built in accordance with Russian standards. The neighboring countries have long-contemplated a bridge that could allow more vehicles to move across the border without a lengthy by-pass through China.
