BEIJING, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — The final competition of the China-Kazakhstan Belt and Road and Nur Zholy Railway Border Crossing Skills Competition was held in Horgos, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on Thursday, the Gongren Ribao (Workers' Daily) reported.

During the competition, a competition was organized in two disciplines – the formation of freight trains for international railway freight transportation China-Europe and the inspection of trains, in which a total of 360 employees from the Chinese stations of Khorgos and Alashankou, as well as from the Kazakh stations of Altynkol and Dostyk took part.

24 contestants who passed the first round of the competition were awarded first, second and third degree prizes based on the results of the final. Among the four railway stations, Khorgos and Altynkol also became winners.

According to a representative of KTZ-Freight Transportation LLC, their employees were actively preparing for the competition, during which participants from both sides learned from each other and exchanged experiences to improve their skills in order to ensure high efficiency of customs clearance at border crossings and the operation of China-Europe freight trains.

As of the end of July, the Alashankou and Khorgos railway checkpoints had handled 18.112 million tons of cargo this year, up 10.3 percent year-on-year. Meanwhile, 10,241 China-Europe/China-Central Asia freight trains passed through the two checkpoints during the same period, up 11.6 percent year-on-year, ensuring the stability and smooth running of international supply chains. -0-
