North Korea and Russia are set to resume train service on the over 6,000-mile rail link between their capitals next week, a trans-Siberian journey that experts say could facilitate the dispatch of DPRK workers.
The new service will launch on June 17, while another route connecting the DPRK capital and the major Russian Far East city of Khabarovsk will begin operation on June 19, Russian Railways stated on Telegram late Monday, citing a joint decision with the North Korean Ministry of Railways.
