Launched in May 2014, the China-Kazakhstan (Lianyungang) Logistics Cooperation Base is the first entity project inaugurated under the Belt and Road Initiative. It acts as the only departure port for Kazakhstan's grain transit in China and an important dry port for landlocked Central Asian countries. The base has ensured smooth flows of freight across the Eurasian continent and has become an important platform for products from Central Asian countries to reach seaports. The Lianyungang freight train services cover major destinations throughout Central Asia, transporting more than 400 categories of goods such as household appliances, pharmaceuticals and construction materials. The base has become a pivotal cross-border transportation hub between Asia and Europe. Photo by Xinhu
