Kim Jong Un, leader of North Korea, made a surprise visit to China on October 24, 2026, crossing into Dandong via the newly opened New Yalu River Bridge. This marks his first trip to China in over a year, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency citing an unidentified government source. The bridge connects North Korea's Sinuiju with Dandong and officially opened on October 15 after nearly a decade of delays since its completion in 2014. This visit occurs as US President Donald Trump aims to restart dialogue with North Korea before the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit scheduled for Shenzhen later this year.
