“China-Europe freight trains have established a new logistics channel between Asia and Europe. An international shipping route network under "Silk Road Shipping" has spread all over the world. Based on a framework comprising "six corridors, six routes, and multiple countries and ports," a multi-tiered and multidimensional infrastructure【基础设施】 network is taking shape.”

“中老铁路、雅万高铁、匈塞铁路、比雷埃夫斯港等一批标志性项目陆续建成并投运，中欧班列开辟了亚欧陆路运输新通道，"丝路海运"国际航线网络遍及全球，"六廊六路多国多港"的互联互通架构基本形成。”

A total of 25 provinces in China have opened international freight trains on the China-Laos Railway that reaches Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Cambodia, Singapore and other countries, significantly increasing economic and trade exchanges between China and ASEAN.

丛亮还表示，自2021年12月中老铁路开通以来，截至9月初，通过该铁路运输的货物已累计超过2090万车次，2536万吨。中国共有25个省份开通了中老铁路国际货运班列，通达老挝、泰国、缅甸、马来西亚、柬埔寨、新加坡等国家，大大增加了中国与东盟的经贸往来。
