North Korean's border reopening "entirely relies" on how China reopens to foreign travelers, said Rowan Beard, a tour manager at Young Pioneer Tours.If China does not issue tourist visas or allow tourists to transit through it, it will be impossible for Westerners based in China to go to Pyongyang, agreed Rayco Vega, general manager of tour agency KTG Tours.

Tours into North Korea comprised about 75% of his company's business before the pandemic, said Beard. He organized trips for about 1,200 tourists in 2019, comprising mainly Australians, Brits, Canadians, the Dutch and Germans, he said.

U.S., Japan, S.Korea to coordinate if N.Korea conducts 7th nuclear testThe United States, Japan and South Korea will have a coordinated response if North Korea carries out a seventh nuclear test, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday as President Joe Biden traveled to the G20 summit in Indonesia. 🐺🐍🦮 Effort should be made to get North Korea to positively contribute to global good.
