For the first time in three years, a North Korean commercial plane has landed in China. The flight, which departed from Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, arrived in Beijing on Tuesday, April 6th.
The flight was operated by Air Koryo, the state-owned airline of North Korea. It was the first commercial flight between the two countries since 2017, when the Chinese government imposed a ban on North Korean flights due to the country’s nuclear weapons program.
The flight was a sign of improving relations between the two countries. China is North Korea’s closest ally and has been working to improve ties with the country in recent years.
The flight was also seen as a sign of North Korea’s willingness to open up to the outside world. The country has been largely isolated from the rest of the world for decades, but in recent years, it has taken steps to open up its economy and engage with the international community.
The flight was welcomed by both countries. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that the flight was “a positive sign of the development of China-North Korea relations.” North Korean state media also reported on the flight, saying that it was “a sign of the deepening of the friendly relations between the two countries.”
The flight is a sign of progress in the relationship between China and North Korea, and it could lead to more flights in the future. It is also a sign that North Korea is willing to open up to the outside world and engage with the international community.
