High-speed railways will be a cornerstone of China’s Belt and Road, creating key transport arteries to set international railway standards
China will further enhance connectivity with other countries by expanding its high-speed railway network, a senior politician pledged on Tuesday.
“China is committed to implementing both major projects and smaller, people-centred initiatives that deliver tangible benefits,” Zhang said at the event, which has become a global showcase for high-speed developments and technology.
“In carrying out high-speed rail projects abroad, we will enhance support for infrastructure and skills training to better benefit people in all countries.”
Beijing will continue to advance major landmark rail projects – such as the Hungary-Serbia railway, the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, and the China-Thailand railway – while participating in the formulation of international railway standards, Zhang added.
