After more than ten years of exploration and practice, the China Europe Express has opened up a new road transport corridor between Asia and Europe. By the end of 2021, China EU trains have run 49000 trains, transported 4432000 TEUs of goods, and reached 180 cities in 23 European countries. The logistics service network covers the whole Eurasian continent, becoming an international public logistics product widely recognized by countries along the line. By the end of 2021, China EU train has delivered 13.62 million pieces and 105000 tons of international cooperative epidemic prevention materials; Assist enterprises in countries along the line to resume production. In 2020, 12406 China EU trains will be launched, delivering 1.135 million TEUs of goods, up 50% and 56% year on year respectively; In 2021, 15183 trains will be opened to transport 1.461 million TEUs of goods, with year-on-year growth of 22% and 29% respectively. As the main artery of international connectivity, China EU trains have been growing. They have brought real development opportunities and visible life changes to the countries that jointly build the the Belt and Road, Chinese and foreign enterprises and the people of all countries. They have been widely praised by the countries that jointly build the the Belt and Road.

As a container international railway intermodal train between China and Europe and countries along the line, the China Europe train has become an important carrier to promote the construction of the "the Belt and Road" and a backbone of international logistics transportation in Asia and Europe. It has become a major bridge and link for economic and trade exchanges between China and countries that jointly build the "the Belt and Road". The three channels of the west, the middle and the east, which exit through five ports of China, namely Alashankou, Horgos, Erenhot, Manzhouli and Suifenhe, constitute the main transport routes of China Europe trains, forming a spatial layout of "multi-directional extension and land sea interconnection", and realizing the networking of Asia Europe international intermodal transport. China Europe Express has innovated new modes of modern logistics, modern transportation and modern operation, greatly reducing logistics costs, improving efficiency, shortening time and increasing added value. The transportation cost of China Europe regular train is about 1/5 of that of air transport, and the transportation time is about 1/4 of that of sea transport. Compared with the traditional sea rail combined transport, it can save 8%~20% of the comprehensive logistics cost, and the average carbon emission is 1/15 of that of air transport and 1/7 of that of road transport. It has played an exemplary role in green and low-carbon development.

The China Europe Express runs through the east and west, connecting both inside and outside, opening up new channels for the Eurasian inland region, and effectively promoting trade between China and Europe. China's consumer electronics, clothing, household appliances, daily necessities and other products have reached Europe at a faster speed and at a better price, improving the welfare of European consumers. More and more European products, such as Spanish wine, Dutch cheese and Polish fruit, have entered the homes of ordinary Chinese people. The China Europe Express has opened up new transport and trade channels for European producers and traders to expand their exports to China. From 2016 to 2021, China's import trade from the European Union increased by 63.7%, including 127.3% from Central and Eastern Europe. The China Europe Express has driven the prosperity of industries, trade and investment in the countries along the route, providing a large number of employment opportunities for the countries along the route. The people of the countries along the route are increasingly enjoying the benefits, and promoting the countries and regions along the route to better integrate into the open world economy.

At the same time, the China EU train has played an important role in promoting China EU economic and trade cooperation and commodity circulation, building a digital trade network, promoting the coastal development of inland cities, transforming the global supply chain, guiding industrial cluster development, narrowing regional development gap, promoting regional innovation and improving enterprise efficiency. Moreover, the continuous development of China EU trains has effectively promoted the direct connection and precise coupling between the domestic market and the foreign market, promoted the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycle mutually reinforcing, opened up two markets and utilized two resources, promoted the domestic cities along the line, relevant countries and regions to expand their opening to the outside world, and stimulated the enthusiasm of enterprises for innovation and research and development, It has enhanced the market competitiveness and international influence of Chinese enterprises.

The reason why the development of China Europe regular train exceeded expectations is that the countries along the line attach great importance to and support it, which is an important basis for the rapid development of China Europe regular train; Secondly, the countries along the route adhere to the principle of joint consultation, joint construction and sharing, which is an important prerequisite for the stable development of China EU regular train. After several years of efforts, we have formed a mechanism of joint consultation and cooperation, signed a series of joint transport organization agreements, basically achieved a fixed number of trains, a fixed route, and a fixed departure time, and built the institutional framework for the whole journey transport organization of China Europe regular trains; Innovation and synergy among countries along the route are an important way to improve the quality and efficiency of China EU trains. Third, thanks to the joint innovation of customs clearance model by countries along the line, the cooperation model between customs and customs, customs and railway has been optimized, which has significantly improved the customs clearance efficiency of China EU trains, opened shortcut channels, and provided 7 × 24-hour customs clearance guarantee service, close communication and coordination with border inspection authorities of neighboring countries, and comprehensively guarantee the safe and efficient customs clearance of China EU trains. Fourth, it benefits from adapting to the development needs of countries along the route, which is an important source of sustainable development of China Europe Express.

The world today is undergoing unprecedented changes in a century. Peace and development are still the themes of the times, and the trend of economic globalization is irreversible. Consolidating the development foundation of China EU train, promoting the high-quality development of jointly building the "the Belt and Road" and making greater contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind are the historical mission and major responsibility entrusted to China EU train by the times. We are faced with the challenges and opportunities of * *. Over the years of operation, China Europe Express has accumulated valuable stock of high-quality resources, which requires us to create more incremental high-quality supply.

First, continue to consolidate the foundation for the development of China Europe regular trains. Further optimize the Asia Europe infrastructure network system, break through bottlenecks such as insufficient transport capacity, declining transport efficiency, and imperfect collection and distribution system, unblock the blocking points and blocking points of the infrastructure network, speed up the construction of special railway lines for major ports, open up new routes for China Europe trains, and comprehensively improve China Europe strategic infrastructure support capacity.

The second is to stabilize the good momentum of the development of China EU scheduled trains. Closer intergovernmental cooperation, further deepen political mutual trust with countries along the route, take the China EU train as the focus of practical cooperation, steadily promote cooperation in multiple fields and at multiple levels, and jointly create a good environment for the development of China EU train. We will unswervingly play the decisive role of the market in the allocation of resources for China Europe trains, follow the laws of market development, respect the dominant position of enterprises, and establish fair, standard and transparent market operation guidelines.

Third, prevent and eliminate major risks. China is willing to adhere to the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security with the countries along the route, put the concept of security development into the whole process of China EU train construction, and jointly build an international model of safe transport.

Fourth, improve the development quality of China Europe train.
