The role of China-Europe Express trains highlights the “dual region link” to help fight the epidemic and economic and trade cooperation.
The new corona pneumonia epidemic continues to spread globally, posing challenges to the economic development of several countries. Economic and trade cooperation between China and Hungary has countered the trend, and investment and trade have increased significantly. The stable operation of the China-Europe Express railway under the epidemic is indispensable.
Recently, Hungary’s China-Europe Express trains mainly transport anti-epidemic and resumption of work supplies and products, including Hungary’s first KN95 mask production line and production materials. The stable operation of the China-Europe Railway Express has provided an important guarantee for Hungary’s fight against the epidemic.
Sabo Zoltan, General Manager of Ghibli Logistics Group, Hungary: Affected by the epidemic, there is a large accumulation of cargo by sea in the port and the air cargo capacity has been significantly reduced. On the other hand, the demand for international logistics continues unabated, which is why railways play a very important role. The importance of China-Europe trains for the future has been highlighted, and the demand to open new routes or increase the number of trains has become increasingly urgent.
Moszózi Laszlo, Secretary of State at the Hungarian Ministry of Innovation and Technology: During the pandemic emergency, China proved (through action) that it is a trustworthy friend. A large number of ventilators, protective gear and masks have greatly enhanced Hungary’s epidemic prevention capabilities.
The first China-Europe train to Hungary started in Xi’an in April 2017. Although it started not too early, it has developed rapidly. In 2020, the number of China-Europe Express trains opened in Hungary will reach 46, a year-on-year increase of 360%. Against the background of the general downward trend of the world economy last year, the economic and trade cooperation between China and Hungary was driven against the trend. The volume of bilateral trade increased by 14.4% year-on-year, making China China’s third-largest trading partner. Hungary.
Liboj Victor, Head of the Budapest Freight Terminal: In recent years, we have seen considerable growth (China-Europe Railway Express). We have done everything possible, such as improving operational efficiency and cargo handling ability to cope with increased cargo volume. (China-Europe Express) greatly shortens the transportation time, on the other hand, it is much cheaper than air transportation for customers. Therefore, I believe that the China-Europe train has brought about a revolution in multimodal transport from China to Europe.
At present, the relevant institutions of the two countries are still promoting cooperation under the China-initiated “dual region linking” mechanism, that is, by promoting comprehensive national cross-border e-commerce pilot zones and the economy. and trade domestically abroad. cooperation zones to achieve linkage cooperation, helping to open cross-border e-commerce All links in the entire import and export chain. Under this mechanism, the China-Europe Jiangxi Ganzhou-Budapest cross-border e-commerce train will start operating this year, and it is expected that within three years, from 2021 to 2023, the number of trains between Ganzhou and Budapest will reach 1,000.
