Beijing, November 5 (Xinhua) — As of today, over 19,000 China-Europe international freight trains have departed Chengdu, capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province, since the service launched, serving 126 overseas cities. Chengdu has led the way in these two indicators among Chinese cities, making a significant contribution to the country's expanding westward opening, according to the news portal chinanews.com.cn, citing information from a provincial government press briefing.

Sichuan was one of the first provincial-level administrative divisions in China to launch China-Europe rail freight services. In 2013, a logistics line from Chengdu to the Polish city of Lodz was officially launched under the brand "Chengdu-Europe Express," which was renamed "China/Chengdu/-Europe Route" in 2016. In January 2025, Chengdu's status as a collection and distribution hub for China-Europe rail freight services was officially approved.

At the aforementioned press briefing held on Tuesday, Liang Wuhu, deputy head of the Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, highlighted a number of achievements in Sichuan Province's efforts to steadily improve its international logistics network and strengthen its functions as a collection and distribution hub.

According to him, a direct rail freight corridor from Southeast Asia to Europe now operates smoothly through Chengdu. Combined air-rail freight services from Asia to Chengdu to Europe have been established, and multimodal rail-sea freight services from Chengdu to Europe to Africa for Sichuan-produced goods have been regularly launched. Furthermore, the container handling capacity at Chengdu International Railway Port has increased to over 1.2 million standard containers (TEU) per year.

With its rapidly expanding transportation network, Sichuan is focusing on the export of locally produced value products such as tea, fresh flowers, and crystalline silicon photovoltaic products, while also ensuring the fast and efficient delivery of fresh and perishable foodstuffs, including Norwegian salmon and tropical fruits from Southeast Asia, to the local market.

“Thanks to the diversification of cross-border transport, the price of Thai durian, which was long considered an elite fruit and which local residents could not always afford due to its high cost, has now dropped to below 40 yuan per kg (about 5.6 US dollars), which is almost a third cheaper than before,” the official said. -0-

DOHA, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice President Han Zheng on Tuesday put forward a four-point proposal to promote social development worldwide.

Speaking at the general debate at the Second World Summit on Social Development in Doha, he noted that the first World Summit on Social Development was successfully held in Copenhagen in March 1995, resulting in the adoption of the Copenhagen Declaration on Social Development and the Programme of Action.

According to Han Zheng, over the past 30 years, the Chinese government has adopted a people-centered approach to development, eradicated poverty on time, and achieved the poverty reduction targets of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 10 years ahead of schedule.

In addition, China has implemented the "employment first" strategy, improved people's well-being through development, and built the world's largest education, health care and social security systems, promoting inclusive social development, he said.

China also actively shares its experience in poverty reduction and development with other countries, making due contributions to the progress of human society, Han Zheng added.

He emphasized that the concept of building a community with a shared future for humanity, as well as the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative, proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, have charted a course for advancing global social development.

Referring to the recently held Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Han Zheng said that in the next five years, China will ensure that the fruits of high-quality development are more widely and fairly distributed among all its people, and inject more positive energy and certainty into global social development.

Han Zheng put forward a four-point proposal to promote global social development. First, uphold the people-centered principle; second, focus on common development goals; third, uphold the principle of shared benefit and inclusiveness; and fourth, promote the spirit of solidarity and cooperation.

China, Han Zheng said, hopes to work with all parties to seize this summit as an opportunity to accelerate the implementation of the Copenhagen Declaration on Social Development and the Programme of Action, inject stronger impetus into global social development, and make greater contributions to the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.

The Second World Summit for Social Development is taking place in Doha from Tuesday to Thursday. Its goal is to review progress made since the Copenhagen Summit, outline an action plan to advance social development, and accelerate the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. More than 30 heads of state and government and over 100 ministerial representatives are participating in the event.
