Central China's Henan province has been actively taking the new opportunities created by the RCEP agreement taking effect on January 1 to promote the dual-circulation development pattern that takes domestic development as the mainstay, with domestic and international development reinforcing each other. Sounding a long whistle, fully loaded with mechanical equipment, a China-Laos Railway freight train left CR Intermodal Zhengzhou Terminal in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan, at 9:20 am, March 15, heading for Vientiane, capital of Laos. Running on the China-Laos Railway, the train, Henan's first China-Laos Railway freight train, will exit China at Mohan Port in Southwest China's Yunnan province and is expected to reach Vientiane within about 6 days. Following the freight routes linking Zhengzhou with Budapest of Hungary and Ho Chi Minh city of Vietnam respectively, the Zhengzhou-Vientiane freight route is the third one newly launched by China-Europe freight train (Zhengzhou) assembly center this year, marking a new stage of economic and trade exchanges and in-depth cooperation between Henan and the RCEP member states.
抢抓RCEP新机遇，畅通国内国际双循环。3月15日9时20分，随着汽笛鸣响，中欧班列（郑州）集结中心中老铁路（郑州—万象）国际货运列车满载着机械设备等货物从中铁联集郑州中心站缓缓开出。此趟列车是河南开行的首列中老国际货运列车，沿着中老铁路行驶，经云南磨憨口岸出境，预计6天左右到达老挝首都万象。这也是中欧班列（郑州）集结中心继今年1月份开行郑州—匈牙利布达佩斯、郑州—越南胡志明市新线路后，年内成功开行的第3条新线路，标志着河南与RCEP成员国经贸交流、深度合作迈上新台阶。（中文来源/河南日报客户端 记者/王延辉 聂冬晗 编译/赵汉青 审校/张军平）
