Recently, containers were arranged along a dedicated line on the platform of Chengdu Xinjin Yungang Railway Logistics Park. The China Central Asia connectivity inspection team walked and watched, with more than 10 diplomatic representatives from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan inquiring about the operation and replacement of trains. They conducted research on the Chengdu South Collection and Distribution Center of the Land Sea New Corridor and the China Kazakhstan Chengdu Land Port Terminal. A platform walk connects the inland with Asia and Europe.

Viewing the hub from the platform

The inspection team has a detailed understanding of the functional layout of the park, the collection and distribution of goods, the connection of multimodal transportation, and the organization of goods in the Central Asian direction. Xinjin is connected to the Chengdu Kunming Railway, and a dedicated railway line has been built in the park. Public rail intermodal and public rail sea intermodal trains have been opened, forming a preliminary distribution base for Central Asian grain entering Sichuan and a two-way transportation center between Sichuan and ASEAN; The ongoing project will also supplement the grain silos and container yards. To the west, connecting Central Asia and Europe, and to the south, connecting ASEAN, the delegates are asking how inland hubs can assemble and train trains.

Three countries propose cooperation

The demands of the three countries are particularly specific regarding project cooperation, channel expansion, and facility co construction.

The representative of Uzbekistan stated that Sichuan has outstanding advantages in products, markets, and multimodal transport distribution, and the comprehensive strength of the Provincial Port Investment Group is outstanding. They hope to further expand railway multimodal transport channels and promote the construction of logistics channels connecting East Asia and Europe through Sichuan. The Chengdu Central Asia freight train has covered major nodes in five countries, and a new all rail line directly to Turkmenistan will be added within the year. Southeast Asian goods can also be grouped westward through Chengdu, and the proposal is currently being implemented on the existing network.

The representative of Kazakhstan stated that they will continue to deepen bilateral cooperation in grain and other bulk commodity trade between China and Kazakhstan based on the two-way linkage of the China Kazakhstan Chengdu Land Port Project and the China (Sichuan) Kazakhstan Trade Port Project. The Provincial Port Investment Group has signed a two-way investment agreement with the Harbin National Railway Company to build the Material Trade Cloud Port in Kokshetao and the Land Port Terminal in Chengdu, and to establish a cross-border logistics and bonded processing industrial park in Alashankou, forming a two-way channel linking inland hubs, border ports, and overseas bases.

The representative of Kyrgyzstan invited the Provincial Port Investment Group to invest and develop in Kyrgyzstan, and jointly build a cross-border logistics channel base; Representatives from Tajikistan and Turkmenistan also exchanged views on channel expansion and facility construction.

Channel connecting Asia and Europe

On the same day, the five countries viewed a park and discussed an internet. Multimodal transportation enables a stable two-way flow of goods between Central Asian grain and mineral resources and Sichuan equipment and electronic products, turning cost reduction and market expansion into shared benefits along the route. This inspection further enhanced the understanding of the five Central Asian countries on the construction of the westward opening channel and logistics hub in Sichuan, consolidated the willingness of the five Central Asian countries to deepen interconnection and cooperation with China, and laid a solid foundation for expanding cooperation areas and promoting the implementation and effectiveness of related projects in the future. A stop on the platform connected the longer railway tracks stretching from Central Asia to Asia and Europe.Editor/Yang Meiling
