On May 11, the nation's first "South Asia International Freight Train" departed in Lan. 10 days later, this freight train full of "Made in China" will be transported by rail and road to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. This marks that in the construction of the "Belt and Road" in Lanzhou, after the opening of the "Lanzhou" Central Asia and Europe freight train, it has once again taken an important step of opening to the west and south.

重大 For more than two years since the major strategic concept of the “Belt and Road” was proposed, countries along the route have responded. Last year, China signed memorandums of understanding on co-construction of the “Belt and Road” with more than 30 countries. Some major “Belt and Road” frameworks have begun to be built, such as the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor, China-Indochina Peninsula Economic Corridor, and New Eurasia Bridge Economic Corridor, China-Central Asia-West Asia Corridor, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Economic Corridor, etc., some have achieved gratifying results. First, as far as China and Europe are concerned, in the past, freight transport between China and Europe mainly relied on air, sea and road transport. Air and road transport costs were high and sea transport took a long time. CEIBS has become a backbone mode of land transportation in international logistics due to its short distance, fast speed, and high safety, as well as the advantages of being safe, fast, green, and less affected by the natural environment.

The prospect of international freight is very broad, with extremely high cost performance. As we all know, in the past, our logistics trade to South and Southeast Asia was mainly completed by sea. The railway freight train opened this time can be said to have opened up the way of land transportation and will give full play to the advantages of railway transportation. It is conceivable that in the future, the economic and trade, cargo exchanges, human mobility, cultural exchanges and technical support between various countries and cities will be promoted by railways. This will definitely strengthen the "urban" effect among countries and the development pattern of the "Belt and Road" will also Through mutual assistance, mutual assistance, and mutual advancement, we have established a cooperative system for common development among all countries in the world. With the complementation of science and technology and the mutual assistance of resources, railways will also start to develop in the development process, and finally a world railway transportation route map will be paved.

Now that the “Belt and Road” has become a trend, the opening of each international railway line brings a new round of development opportunities to countries and regions along the route. Industries should meet this new era with new development ideas and join hands. Create a win-win situation. With the cooperation with the South Asian Railway, our railways are constantly “upgrading” and speeding up. We believe that the “South Asia International Freight Train” will definitely become the “star product” of international freight in the “Belt and Road” strategy, which will also drive the common Economic development thereby benefiting the people.
