The Chinese Embassy in Myanmar announced that Burmese rice was shipped to Chongqing, China, from the Wanting border gate by cross-country road-railway joint transport.
It is reported that on October 25, more than 10 container trucks of the Burmese-Telhun-Chongchin cross-country land-rail joint transport train full of Burmese rice entered China from the China-Myanmar border at the Wanting border gate.
It is reported that the rice was transported to Poungsan North Station after being processed at the China-Myanmar Modern Agricultural Business Park.
After that, it will be transported by rail to Xiao Tum Ye Village Station in Chongqing City via Pound San North Station, so the time is about 20 days faster and the cost can be greatly reduced than the traditional river and ocean joint transportation.
The launch of the Myanmar-Telhun-Chongqing cross-country land-railway joint transport special train is the real meaning of multi-lateral transportation of China-Myanmar export goods by land-railway joint transport. Exports to foreign markets such as South Asia will be able to increase dynamically, and at the same time, products from Southeast Asia and South Asia will enter the Chinese domestic market more and faster through Chongqing, according to the statement of the Chinese Embassy.
