Beijing, October 15 (Xinhua) — In the first three quarters of 2025, 1,089 freight trains were sent from China's economically developed Jiangsu Province to Central Asian countries, placing the province among the top Chinese destinations for this indicator, according to the news portal chinanews.com, citing data from a local international freight rail operator.
In addition, during the specified period, the number of freight trains sent to Central Asia via Jiangsu amounted to 616. These trains carried 50,491 standard containers (TEU) of cargo, which also made Jiangsu the leader among all provincial-level administrative units in China in terms of the volume of transit freight traffic to Central Asia.
According to published data, the number of freight train departures from Jiangsu Province, located on China's east coast, to Central Asian countries increased by 8 percent year-on-year from January to September, carrying 89,382 TEUs of cargo.
The news portal reports that, as part of efforts to develop a diversified international freight transportation system, Jiangsu Province opened transport routes from Xuzhou and Nantong, respectively, at the beginning of this year, joining the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan intermodal rail-road freight transportation network.
The opening of these routes has significantly increased foreign trade opportunities in the respective regions and significantly reduced logistics costs for export companies to Central Asia. According to statistics, 2,812 TEU of cargo were shipped along these routes in the first three quarters of this year, representing a 65 percent year-on-year increase.
