General

At the end of March this year, the China Europe freight train, loaded with fully automatic drum washing machines, gearboxes, and other export goods from local enterprises in Nanjing, departed from the Yaohuamen Railway Freight Yard of the Nanjing Freight Center and departed through the Manzhouli Port towards Minsk, Belarus. The inaugural operation of the Nanjing Minsk new line has further improved the overseas accessibility of the Nanjing China Europe train, effectively guaranteeing key foreign trade enterprises to "go global" and expand into the international trade market.

As a landmark achievement of the construction of the "the Belt and Road", the China Europe Express has become the "artery" connecting the international trade logistics transportation of Asia and Europe and promoting the international trade and trade exchanges of countries along the "the Belt and Road".

With the opening of the new Nanjing Minsk line, the Nanjing China Europe train has covered 15 countries and reached over 70 cities. At the Yaohuamen Railway Freight Yard, various export products such as household appliances, mechanical equipment, textiles and clothing from key foreign trade enterprises in Nanjing can be loaded and shipped here, and can reach the Asian and European markets in as little as ten days. Export goods from surrounding areas also gathered in Nanjing and boarded the "steel camel caravan" to travel to the Eurasian continent.

Roads are accessible in all directions, and goods flow smoothly. Last year, the international trade import and export value of the Nanjing China Europe freight train reached 1.044 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 51.8%, and the "round-trip transportation of goods" accelerated. In the first quarter of this year, the Nanjing China Europe Express achieved 99 trains, including 43 departing and 56 returning trains, exceeding the goal of a "good start" in the first quarter.

The "iron and steel caravan" flies across the mountains and seas overnight, connecting Nanjing closely with Eurasia with efficient and stable international transport services and expanding train coverage, and deeply integrating into the overall pattern of jointly building the "the Belt and Road".
