This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. Over the past decade, the Belt and Road Initiative has gained a growing circle of friends, produced fruitful economic and trade cooperation, and created "national landmarks", "livelihood projects" and "cooperation monuments". In the past ten years, 77,000 China-Europe freight trains have been launched, carrying 7.31 million TEUS of goods with a value of over 340 billion US dollars, reaching 217 cities in 25 European countries and becoming an important bridge for international economic and trade cooperation.
As the birthplace of the ancient Silk Road, it connected China with the rest of the world and promoted the prosperity and development of countries along the route. For thousands of years, this "lifeline" has continued, bringing prosperity one after another through the collision of different civilizations. In the new era, the China-Europe freight train has refreshed the speed of economic development in a new way, written the legend of "Made in China", and given new significance to the ancient Silk Road.
As an important carrier for deepening economic and trade cooperation between China and co-built countries and an important starting point for promoting the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, the China-Europe Express has created a new pattern of international transport between Asia and Europe, effectively guaranteed the stability of the international industrial chain and supply chain, and promoted the development of China's border trade and connectivity among countries. The integration and exchanges of different civilizations through the Silk Road have brought them closer together and contributed to global economic development, the well-being of people around the world and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Compared with other modes of transport, China Europe Express is a land transport, which is safer and more reliable. In the highly competitive international economic environment, various economic entities also pay more attention to the continuity and stability of the supply chain. Economic, safe and efficient China-Europe freight trains have become the preferred carrier for cross-border trade through "hard core strength".
With the deepening of the Belt and Road Initiative, more and more countries are participating in joint construction and enjoying the dividends of win-win cooperation. With its "brilliant" performance, the China-Europe railway has become a new business card for China's exchanges with the world, and its efficient turnover efficiency and high-quality service concept has also become a new model of cross-border transport. Under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, China and co-authors will join hands for a better future on the path of win-win cooperation.
