China says it has not been notified about North Korea reopening borders

China has not been notified through diplomatic channels about any re-opening of North Korea's borders, a spokesperson at the Chinese foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

On Monday, China's national broadcaster CCTV reported that North Korea had allowed foreigners to enter, and that visitors would be subject to a two-day quarantine upon arrival.

North Korea has largely closed its international borders since early 2020 due to COVID-19.
