Build a Closer Belt and Road Partnership

China-Europe Railway Express is a flagship project and iconic brand of the BRI. Since its launch, thanks to coordinated and concerted efforts of various parties, it has blazed a path of development full of consensus and vitality, demonstrating the remarkable power of win-win cooperation.

中歐班列是共建“一帶一路”的旗艦項目和標誌性品牌，自開行以來，在各有關方面協同聯動、共同努力下，探索出了一條凝聚共識、充滿活力的發展之路，煥發出了合作共贏的強大生命力。

We will build a closer partnership in connectivity. China will work actively with all partners to promote “hard connectivity” in infrastructure and “soft connectivity” through harmonized rules and standards, to ensure unimpeded channels for cooperation in trade and investment, and to develop Silk Road e-commerce. All of this is designed to ensure bright prospects or integrated development.
