BEIJING - Passenger train service between China and North Korea is set to resume on Thursday, six years after it was suspended in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, travel operators told AFP.
The service will be open to Chinese people working and studying in North Korea, as well as North Koreans working, studying and visiting family abroad, according travel agents for official ticketing booths in Beijing and Dandong. Tourists will not yet be eligible to buy tickets. "It's great to see the international train service resuming," Rowan Beard, tours manager at Young Pioneer Tours, told AFP on Tuesday. (Bssnews)
