大河网讯 打造对外开放新优势，中欧班列（郑州）再迎新突破。12月1日9时50分，一列装载有52个集装箱的火车缓缓驶入航空港区郑州国际陆港西站，这是航空港区迎来的首班回程中欧班列，标志着郑州市航空港区已具备中欧班列操作能力。

This train, identified as service number 75096 and operated by Zhengzhou International Land Port Development and Construction Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Zhongyu Port Group, entered China via the Manzhouli port in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and arrived at ZAEZ after a 18-day journey.

该班列车次号为75096，由中豫港务集团郑州国际陆港开发建设有限公司（以下简称郑州陆港公司）组织运营，从内蒙古满洲里口岸入境，历经18天顺利抵达郑州市航空港区。

"This return trip marks a significant step in advancing the Land Silk Road and represents a new milestone in Henan's effort in building a 'four-road-coordinated' opening-up framework," said Zhang Yi, Director of the Planning and Development Department at Zhengzhou International Land Port Development and Construction Co., Ltd.

“本次航空港区迎来首列回程中欧班列，是在陆上丝绸之路建设上迈出的崭新一步，是河南省构建‘四路协同’开放格局的又一里程碑。”郑州陆港公司规划发展部部长张一说。

As of now, the number of China-Europe freight train trips operated by Zhengzhou International Land Port Development and Construction Co., Ltd. has surpassed the total number of trips made in 2023, in line with its annual targets. This year, four new direct stations have been added to the China Railway Express network and the route crossing the Caspian and Black Seas has been successfully opened. These developments have further strengthened the cooperation with ASEAN rail services, and significantly boosted the industrial momentum and international competitiveness of Henan's China Railway Express service.

截至目前，郑州陆港公司围绕年度中欧班列开行任务，开行数量已超去年全年总量。今年，中欧班列新增直达站点4个，并成功打通跨里海、黑海南通道线路，进一步深化东盟区域班列业务合作，有力促进河南中欧班列产业带动力和国际竞争力。（中文来源/大河网 记者/何心悦 编译/杨佳欣 实习生/梁甜 审校/丁岚 赵汉青）
