Xi'an Net News Our city has thoroughly studied and implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on opening up and the important instructions of the important speeches during previous inspections in Shaanxi, giving full play to the role of an important node in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and an important base for the country's opening to the west, building a Xi'an assembly center for China-Europe trains with high quality, accelerating the construction of an international trade channel with high efficiency, low cost and excellent service in the inland area, and actively creating a vibrant inland reform and opening up highland.

In the face of the current uncertainty facing the world economy, cooperation and exchange platforms such as the Eurasian Economic Forum have provided strong support for smooth interconnection and aggregation of regional development momentum. Not long ago, the 2025 Eurasian Economic Forum was successfully held in our city. Through extensive dialogue from all walks of life, it promoted regional cooperation and promoted the realization of sustainable development and coordinated progress, adding new impetus to accelerating the construction of a new Eurasian development pattern that is more open, inclusive, balanced and diverse. As the first important practical result of the China-Europe Railway Express (Xi'an) in the field of Asia-Europe economic and trade cooperation after the closing of the forum, the first cross-Baltic Sea rail-sea intermodal China-Europe freight train was successfully launched from Xi'an International Port Station. The train was fully loaded with auto parts, digital equipment, daily necessities and other goods. It crossed the Eurasian continent and then was transported across the Baltic Sea by sea. It will arrive in Hamburg, Germany in the near future. This new channel not only opens up a new path for "China's intelligent manufacturing" to go overseas, but also builds a new bridge for the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative to promote "hard connectivity" of infrastructure, "soft connectivity" of rules and standards, and "heart-to-heart connectivity" of the people of the country.

As a landmark achievement of the Eurasian Economic Forum, the China-Europe Railway Express (Xi'an) has opened a "golden channel" for international trade across Europe and Asia. Up to now, China-Europe trains (Xi'an) have operated more than 30,000 trains, accounting for more than a quarter of the country's total. The operation volume, freight volume, and heavy container rate have ranked first in the country for seven consecutive years; on average, one train enters and leaves the port every 80 minutes, and 18 international trunk lines cover more than 220 European cities and more than 100 Asian cities in Europe and Asia. Not long ago, Shaanxi's first consumer lithium battery China-Europe freight train arrived at the end of the journey - Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, after covering more than 6,600 kilometers. From the "old three" items of clothing, furniture, and home appliances to the "new three items" of new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products, the expansion of transportation categories reflects the vitality of Eurasian trade. More than 17,000 companies have borrowed time to go overseas, and more than 3,800 international logistics and trading companies have settled in Xi'an, allowing capital, goods, and information to flow efficiently between continents. This year, with the completion and commissioning of China Xi'an Kazakhstan Terminal, the upgrading effect of the "hub-to-hub" international logistics between Xi'an Terminal in Kazakhstan and the Xi'an Terminal in Kazakhstan has attracted widespread attention from the international market. The Kyrgyzstan National Railway Company and others have joined hands with our city to further deepen cooperation in the construction of international logistics channels and linkage of hub functions.

Starting from October 11, railways across the country will implement a new train schedule. After the map adjustment, the Xi'an Railway Bureau has 18 China-Europe trains originating and ending in China-Europe trains, including 8 departures and 10 arrivals. There are 7 Central Asia trains, including 4 departures and 3 arrivals. This further enhances the China-Europe freight trains' international logistics return channel transportation capacity and strengthens the functional positioning of Xi'an International Dry Port as a gathering center for China-Europe trains. Since the beginning of this year, our city has continued to expand the advantages of China-Europe Railway Express (Xi'an), continuously expand channels, strengthen hubs, optimize networks, and build platforms, accelerate the construction of international trade channels with high efficiency, low cost, and excellent services, promote the construction of China-Europe Railway Express (Xi'an) gathering center, accelerate the construction of a comprehensive open hub with more carrying capacity, radiating power, and gathering power, plan with high standards to promote the construction of the China-Europe Railway Express economic circle, actively cultivate strategic partners, cultivate and create characteristic parks, and attract more international trade enterprises , advanced manufacturing enterprises to settle and develop. At the same time, we will continue to innovate mechanisms to optimize the environment, improve corporate services, and reduce logistics costs for the whole society; actively develop port-based industries such as trade logistics and high-end service industries, make the cross-border e-commerce industry bigger and stronger, strive to build a commodity trading center, promote the gradual expansion of logistics hubs into industrial chain supply chain hubs, and strive to build a new picture of open development with smooth flow of goods, enterprises strengthening their chains, and industry clusters, and accelerating the creation of a vibrant inland reform and opening up highland.
