Belgium and China launched a new cargo train route linking the Belgian city of Liege, some 100 km southeast of Brussels, to Zhengzhou, the capital city of China's Henan province.

近日，比利時(shí)和中國開通了一條新的貨運(yùn)列車線路，將比利時(shí)列日市(位于布魯塞爾東南約100公里)與中國河南省省會(huì)鄭州市連接了起來。

The first cargo train, loaded with 37 containers, leftLiege Logistics Intermodal at 4 p.m. local time, starting a trip that covers more than 11,000 km and is set to take 12 days.

中國與比利時(shí)之間的首條貨運(yùn)列車線路于去年6月開通，將中國大慶市與澤布呂格港連接起來。隨后是今年5月開通的第二條，將中國北方的唐山市與安特衛(wèi)普港連接起來。

Pierre-Yves Jeholet, vice president of Wallonia, said at the launching press conference in Liege, "We have every interest in turning to China and having close, strong relationships, and we must see this as an opportunity and a necessity."

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the friendly relationship between Henan province and Wallonia, He noted, stressing that the route denotes a new phaseof development between the two regions.
