North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made his way to China's border city of Dandong on Saturday, arriving via a newly built bridge that spans the Amnok River, also called the Yalu River in China. According to a government source who spoke with Yonhap News Agency, Kim utilized the New Amnok River Bridge to reach Dandong in Liaoning Province.
Separately, Rep. Youn Kun-young of the ruling Democratic Party revealed that Chinese Premier Li Qiang received Kim in Dandong. Youn suggested that Kim would likely return home shortly after the bridge-opening ceremony, as the city is scheduled to host a major anniversary commemoration for Chinese troops' involvement in the 1950-53 Korean War the following day.
The North Korean leader's brief visit to Dandong is expected to be a short one, as indicated by Youn.
