Beijing, October 15 (Xinhua) — China and Russia are seeking to establish a new Eurasian logistics artery along a cross-border route connecting Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, the Hunchun Port of Jilin Province, and the Russian capital. A cooperation agreement to this effect was recently signed by Jilin Province Logistics Group Co., Ltd. and the Russian company RZD Logistics.
According to the official website of the State Postal Administration of China, citing local media, the agreement includes a number of initiatives to accelerate efforts to build the highway, including streamlining customs clearance procedures, upgrading cargo handling technologies, and improving transport efficiency. These measures are aimed at reducing cross-border logistics costs for products in competitive industries in Jilin Province, such as automotive manufacturing and agricultural processing.
The agreement also outlined the goal of achieving the throughput capacity of the future Changchun-Hunchun-Moscow logistics route, comparable to that of the existing Manzhouli-Zabaikalsk border crossing. Manzhouli is considered the largest land border crossing for cargo turnover between China and Russia.
The Jilin Provincial Logistics Corporation promised that, to ensure the smooth operation of the aforementioned route, the corporation is committed to continuously improving the efficiency of rail service organization, updating the operating models of relevant checkpoints, and accelerating steps toward creating an integrated service system in the "logistics, production, and trade" format.
RZD Logistics acknowledged Jilin Province's status as a logistics hub in Northeast China, offering a natural geographic advantage for connecting China and Russia. In addition to building the aforementioned logistics artery, the company also expressed its intention to work with its Jilin partner to optimize the existing Hunchun-Kamyshovaya-Moscow transport line, leveraging the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Jilin Provincial Border Crossing.
