Since the beginning of this year, more than 2,000 freight trains have passed through Xi'an on China-Europe routes.

Since the beginning of this year, the city of Xi'an (the capital of Shaanxi Province, Northwest China) has received and dispatched more than 2,000 freight trains running along the China-Europe/Central Asia routes, People's Daily reported, citing Xinhua.

Train number X9043, loaded with cars, household appliances and other goods, left the Xi'an International Port station on the morning of April 29 and headed to the Tajik city of Danghara, becoming the 2,000th freight train to pass through the Shaanxi city on the China-Europe/Central Asia route since the beginning of this year, the provincial people's government press service reported.

In the first four months, the number of trains running on the above-mentioned routes and passing through Xi'an, as well as the volume of freight traffic, increased by more than 30 percent year-on-year, statistics show.

The stable development of regular railway transportation between China and Europe and China and Central Asia brings benefits to both foreign and domestic consumers.

According to the deputy general director of the Shaanxi company "Aiju", last year the company implemented a number of projects in the field of processing agricultural products in the North Kazakhstan region of Kazakhstan. On the way back, these freight trains delivered more grain, oils and food products to the country.

"We plan to gradually increase the range of agricultural products and supply the domestic market with more high-quality food products produced in Kazakhstan," the entrepreneur summed up.
