Oriented on making people closer

On July 23, a Turkmen Airlines cargo plane carrying smart electronics, clothing and other goods took off from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport for Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan.

This flight marked the official opening of the first direct international cargo route to Turkmenistan from the Great Bay Area / GBA - a zone of accelerated economic and innovative development in southern China, in the Pearl River Delta, CGTN writes.

In addition, it is also the first Central Asian route from Shenzhen. It is expected that the opening of this route will further develop trade between China and the countries of Central Asia.

Earlier, Turkmenistan Airlines announced that in July it would begin cargo transportation to two new destinations - Milan, Italy and Shenzhen, China. Flights will be operated once a week by an Airbus A330-200 P2F cargo aircraft.
