On May 11, the first column in South Asia international freight train LanQiCheng, 10 days later, the column filled with "made in China" freight train, railway, highway transportation, will arrive in Nepal's capital Kathmandu. This marks lanzhou's construction of "One Belt And One Road", and after opening the "lanzhou no." central Asia and Europe's freight train, it is another important step to open up to the west.
The "One Belt And One Road" strategic concept has been proposed for more than two years and countries along the belt and road have responded. Last year, China with more than 30 countries "area" memorandum of understanding signed project, and some of the main skeleton "area" has already begun to build, such as corridor, the Russian economy, China - Indochina economic corridor, the new asia-europe continental bridge economic corridor, corridor of China, central Asia, west Asia, China and Pakistan economic corridor, such as China and India and myanmar economy corridor meng, some have made gratifying achievements. For the first time, in the past, the freight between China and Europe mainly depends on air, sea and road transportation. The cost of air transportation and road transportation is high. Trains in central Europe with its characteristics of short distance, high speed, safety, and security, green environmental protection, affected by the natural environment of small advantages, has become the backbone of the road transport way in international logistics.
The prospect of international freight is very broad, with extremely high cost performance. As is known to all, the past we facing south and southeast Asia logistics trade mainly completed by sea, the opening of the railway freight train is broadened the way of road transport, will give full play to the advantages of railway transport. As you can imagine, in the future by the railway drive economic trade between countries and cities, goods, mobility, cultural exchanges and technical support, will be strengthened among countries "urban" effect, "One Belt And One Road" development pattern will also set up in the help, mutual assistance, mutual into the world of common development cooperation system. With the complementarity of science and technology and mutual assistance of resources, the railway will also take a step forward in development and eventually pave the way for a world railway transportation route.
Now "area" has become a trend, the opening of each a international railway line of countries and regions to bring along a new round of development opportunities, the industry should be to the development of new ideas to meet the new era, hand in hand to create a win-win. To cooperate with and south railway, our railway has been accelerated the "upgrade", we believe that "South Asia international freight train" will become "in" big strategic international freight "star product", will also pull the common economic development and benefit the people.
