The China-Kazakhstan (Lianyungang) Logistics Cooperation Base has handled more than 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of cargo since the start of 2026, with more than 240 China-Europe (Central Asia) freight trains dispatched, according to Nanjing Customs.
Since its official launch in July 2014 as the first physical project under the Belt and Road Initiative, the base has operated more than 7,744 China-Europe (Asia) freight trains, carrying more than 667,000 TEUs of containers.
It now runs six international rail routes covering Central Asia, China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan, China-Russia and the Trans-Caspian corridor, with access to five outbound ports including Alashankou and Khorgos.
The rail network serves multiple destinations across Asia and Europe, transporting a wide range of goods including automobiles and auto parts, chemical products, household appliances, textiles and garments, and electronic equipment.
The base plays a vital role in ensuring stable industrial and supply chains for Belt and Road partner countries and continues to support high-quality economic development across the Eurasian region.
