Russia and North Korea discuss rail link

Monday 28th January, 2008
A Russian delegation has arrived in North Korea to discuss a joint project to rebuild a cross-border rail link.
The delegation will discuss providing power to the northeastern port of Rajin and the modernisation of the 55-kilometre line between Rajin and Russia's Khasan.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed interest in connecting the Rajin-Khasan line to the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Last year, North Korea reportedly agreed to open Rajin further to foreign ships in an attempt to make it a regional transport hub.
According to Russian estimates, reconstruction of North Korea's railways would cost about US$2.5 billion dollars.
