(ANSA-XINHUA) - CHENGDU, SEP 18 - A new China-Europe freight
train route linking southwest China's Chengdu, capital of
Sichuan Province, with the Polish port city of Gdansk, was
launched Friday. The first cargo train carrying goods such as
furniture, household appliances, and machinery and equipment
departed from Chengdu on Friday to Gdansk, the largest city and
most important seaport in Poland's northern coastal region. The
successful launch of this route marks another extension of
China-Europe freight train service from Chengdu into the
hinterland of Europe. It is expected to help strengthen the
economic, trade and cultural exchanges between China and Poland
and other countries along the route, according to Chengdu
International Railway Port Administrative Committee. Chengdu has
added eight new overseas stations to its China-Europe freight
train routes so far this year. Its China-Europe freight trains
can reach a total of 66 destinations in Europe. (ANSA-XINHUA).
