This year marks the 10th anniversary of China’s Belt and Road Initiative — a platform for global cooperation, in which Beijing is actively creating and developing sea and land routes to Asia, Africa and Europe. The starting point of this grandiose project was the city of Xi’an, from which the ancient Silk Road originated.

China is ready to cooperate with countries along the China-Europe railway route to jointly promote the implementation of major infrastructure projects that will increase the efficiency of rail freight traffic.
