DHL LAUNCH NEW SILK ROAD RAIL ROUTE

The first multimodal rail connection between Shenzhen, China and Minsk, Belarus was launched by German logistics giant DHL and China Brilliant, an integrated service provider in global manufacturing and consumption. The route follows the ”Belt and Road” corridors that China is touting as the modern Silk Road.
 
In a ceremony at Shenzhen’s Pingyan Railway Station, Zhang Chunhua, Founder of China Brilliant Group, DHL’s local partner in the venture highlighted the importance of this new route for the Shenzhen economy.
 
“By building a central railway and logistics centre, it will allow Shenzhen businesses to reduce their production costs and benefit from the Belt and Road Initiative.”
 
The sixth route on the Asia-Europe-Asia multimodal network, the Shenzhen-Minsk route will not only serve China. With road and port transfers, the route can extend to Southeast Asia and neighbouring countries including Vietnam, Philippines, and Taiwan.
 
Steve Huang, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding Greater China said, “I think this supports the One Belt One Road initiative a great deal because there is no rail service from Southeast Asia to Europe and by this connection from Shenzhen actually brings the whole rail connection between Europe continents and Asian continents. So, I think this is a great support to Belt and Road initiative.”
 
The route will also benefit Eastern Europe. Ihar Shylau, First Deputy Head of the Belarusian Railway says that the route will not only benefit the capital city Minsk, in Belarus but also other smaller cities. “This route is only the first step, we must provide and organise connectivity for all Belarusian regional cities, Homel, Vitebsk, Mogilev, and so on”.
