North Korea, Russia to Launch 6K-Mile Trans-Siberian Rail Link Between Capitals

  • Beginning June 17, Russia and North Korea will restart passenger train operations connecting Moscow and Pyongyang after several years of suspension.
  • Passenger train operations were halted in early 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak, and the service is now set to resume following an agreement between Russian Railways and North Korea’s railway ministry.
  • The train service will operate twice a month, traveling over 10,000 kilometers across eight days, with a North Korean passenger car coupled to regular trains running between Moscow and Vladivostok.
  • Russian Railways described this route as "the world's longest direct train route," while another monthly service linking Pyongyang and Khabarovsk will resume on June 19.
  • This rail link reinforces expanding cooperation between the two nations, including military ties solidified by a 2024 treaty and recent North Korean military aid to Russia.
