CHINA-KAZAKHSTAN-BRI-LOGISTICS-CITIES

(231010) -- BEIJING, Oct. 10, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on Sept. 7, 2022 shows a ferry pulling out from a port in Lianyungang, east China's Jiangsu Province. In 2013, China proposed the idea of building an "economic belt along the Silk Road" in Kazakhstan, which, combined with the proposal of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, eventually became the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The China-Kazakhstan (Lianyungang) logistics cooperation base, launched in 2014, is the first entity project under the BRI. Acting as a dry port in the Horgos-Eastern Gate special economic zone and the Western China-Western Europe international transport corridor, it has become an important platform for products from Central Asian countries to reach seaports.
