枢联天下，畅通全球。6月6日，首届中欧班列（郑州）博览会在位于郑州航空港经济综合实验区的中原国际会展中心开幕，汇聚全球物流行业的精英力量，共商中欧班列发展策略，推动中欧班列高质量发展。

The expo, jointly organized by Henan Logistics Association and Europe-China International Convention & Exhibition (Zhengzhou) Co., Ltd., covers an exhibition area of 10 thousand square meters. It features multiple sections, including the demonstration of achievements in cities involved in the China-Europe Railway Express project, overseas exhibition area, domestic exhibition area, and more. With over 100 domestic and international exhibitors, the event showcases various goods transported via the China-Europe Railway Express, highlighting its indispensable role in the global supply chain.

据了解，该博览会由河南省物流协会、欧中国际会展（郑州）有限公司联合主办，展览面积1万平方米，设中欧班列示范工程承建城市成果展区、境外展区、境内展区等多个板块，吸引了100多家国内外客商参展，展示中欧班列运输的各类商品，体现中欧班列在全球供应链中不可或缺的作用。

In ancient times, the Silk Road echoed with the sound of camel caravan; nowadays, the China-Europe Railway Express runs continuously. The number of trips made by the China-Europe Railway Express has exceeded 90 thousand, said a source from the expo on May 25. So far, the China-Europe Railway Express has transported over 8.7 million standard containers, with a cargo value exceeding 380 billion dollars. It provides service in 223 cities of 25 European countries and connects over 100 cities of 11 Asian countries.

古有丝绸之路驼铃声声，今有中欧班列铁流滚滚。记者从博览会了解到，5月25日，中欧班列累计开行数量已突破9万列。截至目前，中欧班列共发送货物超870万标箱，货值超3800亿美元，通达欧洲25个国家223个城市，连接11个亚洲国家超100个城市。

The Zhongyu China-Europe Railway Express maintains its leading position nationwide in comprehensive operational performance indicators, with an international logistics network featuring "21 direct overseas destinations and 8 entry-exit ports" established, facilitating smooth international logistics trunk lines in four directions: Europe, Central Asia, ASEAN, and Japan and South Korea. With a domestic cargo collection radius of 1500 kilometers and 80 percent of sources from outside Henan, its overseas network covers more than 140 cities of 40 countries across Eurasia. So far, it has over 6 thousand domestic and international partners, serving as a strategic gateway based in the Central Plains to serve the entire country.

中欧班列（中豫号）综合运营评价指标保持全国前列，已构建起“21个境外直达站点、8个出入境口岸”的国际物流网络，畅通了欧洲、中亚、东盟及日韩等四个方向的国际物流干线通道，境内集货半径达1500公里、省外货源占八成，境外网络覆盖欧亚40个国家140余座城市，境内外合作伙伴达6000余家，有效发挥了立足中原、服务全国的战略通道作用。

At the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone, construction of the Zhengzhou international land port is progressing rapidly.
