Loaded with frequency changers, starter cabinets for fans, semiconductor modules, air compressors, dead axles and spare parts for off-highway dump trucks and cables, etc., a China Railway Express freight train left Zhengzhou Putian Railway Station on April 26 for Belgrade of Serbia via the border city Alashankou of China, which not only expands the coverage of China Railway Express freight trains operated by Zhengzhou International Hub Development and Construction Co., Ltd., but also further strengthens the economic and trade ties between Henan and Europe.

大河网讯 4月26日，一列满载着变频器、风机启动柜、半导体模块、空压机、非公路自卸车用非驱动桥及零件、电缆等货物的中欧班列（郑州）从圃田站驶出，经阿拉山口出境后，驶往塞尔维亚贝尔格莱德。这标志着郑州国际陆港开发建设有限公司（简称“郑州陆港公司”）开行的中欧班列（郑州）欧洲方向再添新线路，班列运行版图再次扩大，对于加强河南与欧洲国家之间的经贸往来具有重要意义。

Serbia is the first country in Central and Eastern Europe to establish a comprehensive strategic partnership with China. As an important country on the Eurasian continent and in the Balkan region, Serbia is playing a significant role in the Belt and Road Initiative. In recent years, China and Serbia have achieved fruitful results in infrastructure construction and production capacity cooperation. Zhengzhou International Hub Development and Construction Co., Ltd. leveraged the opportunity provided by the mid-term action plan for joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, the MOU on industry and investment cooperation and the free trade agreement signed between China and Serbia in October 2023 to open the Zhengzhou-Belgrade rail freight route, aiming to establish a logistics distribution hub in Central Europe and enhance the influence and reach of its services in Europe, thus promoting Henan's opening-up and strengthening the province's economic and trade cooperation with Central and Eastern Europe.

塞尔维亚是中东欧地区第一个与我国建立全面战略伙伴关系的国家，地处亚欧大陆主要交通线上，辐射面广，是巴尔干地区有重要影响力的国家，在“一带一路”倡议中发挥重要的支点作用。近年来，中塞两国在基础设施建设、产能等领域合作成果丰硕，郑州陆港公司以2023年10月份中塞两国签署共建“一带一路”中期行动计划、产业与投资合作谅解备忘录、自由贸易协定等合作文件为契机，开通郑州—贝尔格莱德线路，进一步打造欧洲中部区域物流集疏枢纽，提升中欧班列（郑州）在欧洲区域的辐射力和影响力，更好地服务我省对外开放及加强与中东欧经贸合作。

Taking the advantage of the Belt and Road Initiative and Henan's regional and railway strengths, Zhengzhou International Hub Development and Construction Co., Ltd. has developed an international logistics network featuring "14 direct overseas stations and 7 entry-exit ports", covering Europe, Central Asia, the ASEAN and the Asia-Pacific regions (Japan and South Korea), notable for frequent and regular services by its China Railway Express freight transport between China and the Belt & Road countries since 2013.

2013年以来，郑州陆港公司抢抓国家“一带一路”建设机遇，依托河南交通区位优势以及铁路枢纽优势，高频次、常态化往返奔驰于中国与“一带一路”共建国家，构建了辐射欧洲、中亚、东盟、亚太（日韩）等的“14个境外直达站点，7个出入境口岸”的国际物流网络。（中文来源/大河网 记者/祝传鹏 编译/杨佳欣 实习生/李凯 审校/陈行洁）
