On May 15, a China-Europe train loaded with complete sets of automobile accessories departed from the special line of Liulihe Jinyu Railway in Fangshan District, Beijing, and headed for Minsk, the capital of Belarus. This is the first China-Europe train from Beijing to Minsk, and it is also the first special train for the export of auto parts, adding a new channel for Beijing to strengthen production capacity cooperation with the Belt and Road countries.

293 tons of complete sets of auto parts filled 55 40-foot containers, with a total value of more than 16 million yuan. The train will leave the country through Erenhot Port and arrive in Minsk in about 15 days, injecting "Made in China" kinetic energy into the local automobile industry chain.

The smooth opening of the new route has added a new convenient channel for international logistics for the globalization of Beijing's foreign trade. The China-Europe Railway Express is becoming a new engine for Fangshan District to serve Beijing's opening up and development, not only building a trade express train for import and export enterprises to directly connect to overseas markets, but also cultivating a new growth pole for the high-quality development of the regional economy.

In the past few months, with the full support of Beijing Customs and Beijing Bureau of China Railway, Fangshan District has continued to promote international logistics interconnection. The new route of the Minsk China-Europe Express is the fourth international railway freight line in Beijing after the lines of Moscow in Russia, Almaty in Kazakhstan and Tashkent in Uzbekistan, which not only enhances the radiation coverage of Beijing's China-Europe train business, but also effectively expands the cooperation space between Beijing and the countries co-built by the Belt and Road Initiative, and improves the service efficiency of the region's high-level opening up.

The opening of the China-Europe Railway Express is not only the expansion of logistics channels, but also brings opportunities for enterprise transformation and upgrading. Through the opening of the China-Europe train, it not only improves the utilization rate of the resources of the special railway line in the Jinyu plant, but also helps to carry out logistics renewal and transformation of the old plant in the future, promotes the transformation of the traditional industrial plant to a modern logistics functional area, forms a benign development of "transportation with production, and rejuvenates the park with industry", and opens up a new track for enterprise development.

As the starting point of the Belt and Road international logistics network and the north-south linkage hub of the Beijing-Harbin-Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao logistics corridor, Fangshan District is gradually building a national logistics hub and international dry port supported by "road, rail, sea and air" multimodal transport and driven by smart and low-carbon two-wheel drive, so as to create a strategic node for the import of international commodities and strategic materials and a highland for "Beijing's intelligent manufacturing" sea outlet and cross-border trade services.

With the increase of lines and the frequency of encryption, Fangshan District has become a new highland for the development of Beijing's China-Europe trains. In the next step, we will continue to improve our comprehensive operation capabilities, ensure the efficient and stable operation of China-Europe trains, open up more international routes, promote the integrated development of "trains + industry + trade", and better promote economic and trade cooperation between Beijing and the Belt and Road countries.(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
