Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on the 21st that over the past year since the operation of the Belgrade Novisad section of the Hungarian Serbian railway, the total number of passengers transported has exceeded 2.93 million, opening a new era of high-speed railway in the Balkans. After the completion and opening of the whole line of the Hungary Serbia Railway, it will certainly make important contributions to improving connectivity between Central and Eastern European countries and helping China and Europe jointly build the high-quality development of the "the Belt and Road". At the regular press conference on the same day, a reporter asked, "This past Sunday marks the first anniversary of the official opening and operation of the Beino section of the Hunish-Serbia Railway.". Serbian Prime Minister Bulnabic attended relevant celebrations and said that the Hungarian Serbian railway has become a new card of Serbia, and Serbia is benefiting from the results of the "the Belt and Road" initiative. What is the speaker's comment on this? Wang Wenbin said that the Hungary Serbia Railway, which connects Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, and Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is a key cooperation project of the "the Belt and Road" and a flagship project of China CEEC cooperation. The opening of the Belgrade Novisad section of the Hungarian Serbian Railway has achieved the docking of China's and EU's railway technical specifications. Over the past year of operation, the travel time between the two places has been reduced from over 90 minutes to over 30 minutes, with a cumulative passenger transport of over 2.93 million passengers and training of nearly 300 local technical personnel, opening a new era of high-speed railway in the Balkans. Wang Wenbin said that after the completion and opening of the whole Hungary Serbia railway, the travel time of the railway between the two capitals will be shortened from 8 hours to about 3 hours, which will certainly make an important contribution to improving the connectivity between Central and Eastern European countries and helping China and Europe jointly build the high-quality development of the "the Belt and Road". "In addition to the first anniversary of the opening of the Benio section of the Hunish-Serbia Railway, the fifth anniversary celebration of the operation of the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway, which connects Ethiopia and Djibouti, has also been solemnly held recently." Wang Wenbin said that the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway is another transnational railway that China has helped African countries build after the Tanzanian Railway, and it is also the first transnational electrified railway in Africa. Over the past five years, it has sent 530000 passengers, 7.43 million tons of goods, and 55000 local jobs, It has played a real role in promoting local economic development and improving people's livelihood. We believe that with the joint efforts of China and the co construction of the country, the "the Belt and Road" cooperation will yield more fruitful results, turn more visions into reality, and benefit more people.
