[ADB supports modernization of key railways in Bangladesh with 688 million US dollars] Recently, the Asian Development Bank signed a $688 million loan agreement with the government of Bangladesh to upgrade the crucial Chittagong Doha Zari railway. The project aims to modernize 35 kilometers of railway lines and construct new detours to address the severe shortage of railway capacity in the country. Currently, a large number of trains across the country are out of service due to outdated equipment, and the transportation demand at the port of Chittagong can only meet one-third of the demand. After the completion of the project, direct transportation from Dhaka to Cox's Bazar will be realized, significantly improving the efficiency of the core corridor carrying about 32% of passenger and 55% of freight transportation nationwide. This is a key step for Bangladesh to strengthen economic integration and optimize its logistics system, and also brings new market opportunities for international enterprises. Editor/Cheng Liting

• The milestone of 20 million kilowatts has been achieved! The scale of new energy storage installed capacity in Xinjiang has broken through the major hurdle and remains among the top in the country. Relying on its unique scenic resources, Xinjiang has built a diversified energy storage system, covering technical routes such as lithium iron phosphate, all vanadium liquid flow, and compressed air, and solving the problem of new energy consumption through peak shaving and frequency regulation. The main grid structure of "seven ring network for internal supply and five channels for external transmission" is working together to ensure the stable delivery of green electricity to 22 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, laying a solid foundation for the construction of a new power system and sounding the "Xinjiang Strong Voice" of energy transformation.Editor/Bian Wenjun

• [Billions of new lines are ready to launc]
• The new line project with a total investment of 10.125 billion yuan is about to start construction. This new transportation artery that connects the region is not only a key project to stabilize investment and promote growth, but also a key link to activate development momentum. The project will adopt green construction and intelligent construction technology, connect industrial nodes and resource endowments along the line, significantly improve logistics efficiency, and shorten time and space distance. After being put into operation, it can not only break through the bottlenecks of regional coordinated development and drive the agglomeration of upstream and downstream industries, but also accelerate the flow of talent, capital and other factors, injecting lasting momentum into regional coordinated development and improvement of people's livelihoods.Editor/Bian Wenjun
