ByYUAN SHENGGAO (China Daily) Update:2021-09-24

So far, two projects of the program are ready to go into production, and eight projects in such fields as cross-border e-commerce and green energy will be set in motion in the next few years.

Guangzhou has also enhanced its connectivity with BRI countries through an extensive transport network covering shipping, air transport and international rail.

The Port of Guangzhou ranked fifth worldwide last year in terms of annual container throughput. The port has opened 137 international container line routes, including 114 to countries and regions involved in the BRI.

The Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport now operates more than 300 air routes, connecting with 50 cities in 29 BRI countries.

The airport was the busiest in the world in 2020, with its annual passenger throughput surpassing 43.76 million, said local officials.

In late June, Guangzhou launched a new China-Europe freight train service, linking with Khorgas in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and Duisburg in Germany.

It is the eighth China-Europe freight train route via Guangzhou and the city's China-Europe train services have reached more than 20 countries and regions.
