As information, North Korea has been largely sealed off from the outside world since early 2020, when it decided to close its borders in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, after three years of hiatus, there are signs that Pyongyang may be becoming more flexible when it comes to border control.
In fact, Chinese and Russian officials attended a military parade in the North Korean capital last month.
In addition, last week Pyongyang also allowed a delegation of athletes to attend a taekwondo competition in Kazakhstan.
Air Koryo will make two flights from Vladivostok, Russia, to Pyongyang on Friday and next Monday.
