China Will Promote The China-Europe Train in Six Aspects

China News Service, Beijing, June 20. In recent years, the value of goods carried by China-Europe freight trains has increased year by year, from 1% in 2015 to 7% in 2020. Especially since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, China-Europe Express has shipped 11.99 million pieces and 94,000 tons of anti-epidemic materials to Europe.

The Office of China's Leading Group for Promoting the “Belt and Road” construction work and the China-Europe Railway Express Coordination Mechanism held a work seminar in Beijing on the 20th. The meeting required all parties to focus on the theme of high-quality development of China-Europe Express, focusing on the main line of "consolidating, stabilizing and improving", and jointly promoting the development of China-Europe Express from six aspects to "upgrade" and "upper level".

1, we must focus on enhancing the capacity of China-Europe freight train facilities. Focusing on bottleneck sections and congested ports, actively promote the upgrading and transformation of the "carneck" sections of the West, Central, and East Corridor of China-Europe Railway, and strive to improve the hub assembly capacity.

2 we must focus on improving the quality and efficiency of China-Europe trains. Continuously improve the China-Europe express train operation plan, dynamically adjust and optimize the operation route, vigorously expand the return source of goods, and continue to improve the efficiency of customs clearance. At the same time, we must give full play to the guiding role of assessment.

3, we must focus on promoting the market-oriented development of China-Europe Express. Always adhere to the principle of "government guidance, market operation, and enterprise main body", follow market laws and competition rules, and create a good market environment for the sustainable and healthy development of China-Europe Express.

4, we must focus on strengthening the sustainable development momentum of China-Europe Express. Accelerate the construction of China-Europe freight train information platforms and smart ports, promote the joint development of China-Europe freight trains, Silk Road shipping, and the new western land-sea corridor, actively promote "transport and trade integration", and actively explore the development of "humanities trains" and "tourism trains."

5, we must focus on strengthening international cooperation between China and Europe. Always uphold the spirit of the Silk Road, adhere to the principle of extensive consultation, joint construction and shared benefits, promote in-depth cooperation, joint construction of facilities and projects, and share development results, and build the China-Europe Railway Express into a sunny avenue that benefits all parties and advances hand in hand.

6, we must work hard to ensure the safe and stable operation of China-Europe Express trains. Strengthen the prevention and control of epidemics at key ports, scientifically eliminate them, strictly prevent imports, and resolutely guard the country. Continuously improve the "three-in-one" security measures of air defense, material defense, and technical defense in the operation of China-Europe trains to ensure the safe and stable operation of China-Europe trains.
