CNN —Flights between North Korea and Russia are set to resume for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic.
Air Koryo, North Korea’s national airline, is operating four flights between Pyongyang and Vladivostok, in southeast Russia, this month for the first time since 2020, a Vladivostok airport official confirmed to CNN.
North Korea, which already has some of the world’s most tightly controlled borders, essentially sealed off the country during the coronavirus pandemic.
As a result, several Russian diplomats had to take drastic measures to leave their posts in North Korea during the pandemic.
According to information shared by the Russian embassy at the time, the pushcart ride was only one part of a two-day journey to leave North Korea.
