He told Xinhua at the conference on Wednesday that trade between China and Europe has flourished in the past decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;Eurasian railway transport is developing really fast. In 2011 there were only 11 trains, but last year there were 16,000 trains between China and Europe in both directions. It is becoming a plan B compared to air and sea routes. The service quality could fulfill the supply chain demand of big companies such as Mercedes Benz, BMW, and the other big companies, as they all use this Eurasian railway transport, between China and Europe&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img01-static.xinhua-news.com\/imageServer\/image\/bba04f1f3972a8b1\/644ea202f3e89d917f584fbb_570x.jpg?remark=102012023050100000110attachId=102012023050100000110\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><em><strong><span class=\"editor-desc editor-img-desc\">A China-Europe freight train heading for Moscow is pictured at Mafang railway station in Pinggu District of Beijing, capital of China, on March 16, 2023.&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"editor-desc editor-img-desc\">(Xinhua\/Ren Chao)<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Infrastructure cooperation has significantly reduced the time and cost of shipments, he added, which has brought significant benefits to the industries involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;After a ten-year development (through the Belt and Road initiative) Eurasian railway transport is pretty fast compared to the sea. By sea, you need 50 days, but with Eurasia railways, you need only 19 or 20 days. This express service saves time and could mean a lot for the industry.
