朝鲜与中国开通新鸭绿江大桥,这是两国间最大的边境通道。尽管国际制裁仍在,此举表明双边贸易增长。大桥连接丹东与新义州,长约三公里,双向四车道。中国国务院总理李强和朝鲜内阁总理朴泰成均通过视频致辞表示将促进经贸合作和人员往来。此前两国依赖中朝友谊桥,但该桥仅有一条单轨铁路和一条公路,无法承载重货车。新桥于2014年竣工,耗资3.29亿美元,由中方全额承担,但因朝方配套设施建设延迟,直至现在才通车。分析人士警告称,新桥可能成为朝鲜贸易通道,但联合国制裁仍限制其关键出口和燃料进口。

朝鲜长期依赖中国进行对外贸易,受国际制裁影响,其经济承受压力。中朝友谊桥为老旧单轨铁路和公路桥,无法满足重货运输需求。中国曾提出建设新鸭绿江大桥以增强经济联系,工程于2014年竣工,但因朝方配套设施延迟,通车时间推迟至今。
周四,朝鲜与中国开通了两国间最大的边境通道——新鸭绿江大桥。尽管旨在遏制朝鲜经济及核武器计划的国际制裁依然存在,此举表明双边贸易正在不断增长。
最近几周,从边境江段返回的旅客反映,已有卡车和客车经由这座双向四车道、长约三公里的大桥从中国驶入朝鲜。这座桥梁连接中国丹东市与坐落于鸭绿江畔的朝鲜城市新义州,鸭绿江构成了两国间的大部分边界。
据中国官方媒体报道,这座桥梁通车距朝俄启用横跨图们江边境、规模小得多的首座公路桥仅相隔一个月。两座跨境桥梁的相继启用凸显出平壤正在深化与这两大主要盟友的关系。
据中国官方媒体报道,中国国务院总理李强在开通仪式上发表视频致辞时表示,新大桥“不仅将有力促进两国经贸合作,也将进一步密切双方人员往来”。报道称,朝鲜内阁总理朴泰成亦通过视频致辞。
随着平壤向对乌克兰作战的莫斯科提供武器和军事人员援助,俄罗斯建造了公路桥,以弥补其与朝鲜间单一铁路连接的不足。随着朝俄关系不断强化,中国也着手扩大对朝贸易,力求保持对该邻国的经济影响力。
早在2024年,莫斯科与北京联手解散了负责监督制裁执行情况的联合国专家小组,从而削弱了针对朝鲜的国际制裁。两国还敦促华盛顿放宽对朝限制,主张制裁并未能阻止朝鲜研发核武器。
分析人士警告称,这些新建桥梁可能成为朝鲜的贸易通道。受制于联合国禁止煤炭和劳工等关键出口并严控燃料进口的制裁措施,朝鲜经济此前已承受重压。
此前,新义州与丹东主要依靠拥有83年历史的中朝友谊桥相连,该桥仅设一条单轨铁路和一条公路。这座老化的桥梁无法承载20吨以上的货车,且需严格保持每小时约4.8公里的限速。2009年,中国提议建造桥面更宽的新鸭绿江大桥,作为将朝鲜进一步纳入自身经济辐射范围的更广泛举措之一。
该工程于2014年竣工,耗资约3.29亿美元且全额由中方承担。但因朝方耗时修建连接道路、海关检查站及配套设施,通车时间被推迟了12年。
平壤方面也担忧对华依赖进一步加深。数十年的国际制裁使朝鲜在几乎所有对外贸易上均依赖中国;在联合国安理会将朝鲜主要出口产品列入黑名单后,该国对华贸易逆差急剧攀升。

Japanese insightful people held a seminar in Tokyo on the 15th with the theme "Don't let Japan move to a new pre-war state." Participants analyzed the dangers of the Takaichi Sanae government's armament expansion policies such as revising the three principles of defense equipment transfer, lifting the ban on the export of anti-personnel weapons, and planning to revise the three security documents. They called for an early end to his rule to prevent Japan from repeating the mistakes of war.

Japan is urging the US president to include a stop in Japan during his upcoming Asia trip to reinforce alliance ties, following his meeting with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi last year and growing concerns over his improving relations with China's Xi Jinping amid deteriorating Japan-China relations after Takaichi's controversial Taiwan remarks.

Ukrainian President Zelensky announced that Kyiv would no longer abide by the ceasefire agreement on energy facilities promoted by US President Trump. Subsequently, Ukraine launched a drone attack on an oil refinery in Russia's Lysan region on the 15th, raising the risk of further deterioration in US-Ukrainian relations. Previously, Trump announced the resumption of Russian diesel imports and self-declared an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. Washington suspended intelligence sharing for two consecutive days, deepening Zelensky's dissatisfaction and frustration. He publicly criticized Trump for choosing not to stand on the right side of history. Reuters reported that Zelensky no longer followed Trump's request to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, further widening the differences between Kyiv and Washington. This is the most serious rift between the two sides since the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022. The attacked refinery belongs to Rosneft. Its refining capacity accounts for 5% of Russia's total and is an important facility for supplying Moscow. Lisan Oblast Governor Markov said on Telegram that Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack that caused a fire at the oil refinery. Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to downplay the impact, saying the attacks did not have any particularly significant impact. Although Trump announced on the 11th that Russia and Ukraine agreed to stop attacking energy facilities and Kyiv had suspended attacks, Russia continued to launch missile and drone attacks on Ukraine within days after the ceasefire, including attacking power plants and other energy facilities, causing hundreds of thousands of people to lose power. The relationship between Zelensky and Trump is tense, and a heated argument broke out during a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House in February 2025. However, Zelensky has since publicly praised Trump and U.S. assistance to Ukraine, and in the past few days stated that Ukraine fully supports the ceasefire agreement on energy facilities.

A minibus collided with a stationary train in the Channel Tunnel vehicle boarding area in France on Thursday evening, injuring the driver and 18 passengers, five of them severely, authorities reported. The minibus was carrying truck drivers of various nationalities en route to board a LeShuttle train. The area was sealed off with emergency services and a helicopter present.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was dissatisfied with the United States' resumption of Russian diesel imports, unilateral announcement of a Ukrainian-Russian energy ceasefire, and interruption of intelligence sharing. He announced that he would no longer abide by the restrictions on stopping attacks on Russian refineries and restarted bombing of Russian energy facilities. The Kremlin accused Ukraine of sabotaging peace efforts after Ukrainian drones attacked an oil refinery in Lisan state and caused a fire. The United States denies the intelligence outage, blaming weather factors for the limitations of the Starlink and StarShield systems. Musk said ownership is controlled by the US government. The United States once again proposed to unfreeze Russian assets in exchange for a willingness to negotiate, but Europe rejected it.
