Cargo train trips exceed 9,000 via land-sea trade corridor in 2023

Cargo train trips via the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor had exceeded 9,000 this year as of Tuesday, backed by vigorous trade between China and Southeast Asian countries. 　

Launched in 2017, the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor is a trade and logistics passage jointly built by provincial-level regions in western China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations members. 　

Trade via the corridor has maintained a strong growth trend in recent years and continuously promoted regional high-quality economic development. 　

The number of train trips via the corridor is expected to top 9,300 this year, up more than 50 times from 178 when the service was inaugurated in 2017. 　

In recent years, Beibu Gulf Port Group has accelerated infrastructure upgrading and continued to boost the efficiency of rail-sea intermodal service. 　 (Reporter: Yang Chen, Editor: Zhou Jing, Source: Beibu Gulf Port Group,　Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region)
