N.Korea border crossing shut to tourists: China official
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | April 10, 2013 12:44The biggest border crossing between North Korea and China has been closed to tourist groups, a Chinese official said on Wednesday as nuclear tensions mounted, but business travel was still allowed.
An official at the Dandong Border Office, who declined to give his name, told AFP: “Travel agencies are not allowed to take tourist groups to go there, since the North Korean government is now asking foreign people to leave.”
“As far as I know, business people can enter and leave North Korea freely,” he added.
China is North Korea’s sole major ally and the provider of the vast majority of its trade and aid, with most of the business passing through Dandong.
