BEIJING, Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Shanghai
Cooperation Organization (SCO) International Round Table was held
on Friday in Lianyungang, a port city in east China's Jiangsu
Province, aiming to promote cooperation in trade and
logistics among members of SCO.
The event organized by the Secretariat of the Shanghai
Cooperation Organization has attracted participants from national
ministries of SCO members as well as other representatives from
their embassies in China.
During the event, a joint statement was released to further
expand channels of cooperation in trade and logistics among members
of SCO and jointly build a cross-border international logistics
transportation channel between Asia and Europe.
The SCO, established in 2001, now includes China, India,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It contributes over 20 percent to
the global economy and occupies nearly half of the world
population.
To facilitate logistics cooperation among SCO members, the event
emphasized the important role of Lianyungang as a sea
transportation base and a warehousing logistics center.
The International Logistics Park in Lianyungang, with a designed
area of 44.89 square kilometers, provides logistics service for
central Asia and the Pacific Rim.
As one of the first open coastal cities in China, Lianyungang is a national comprehensive
transportation hub, and the Port of Lianyungang is one of
China's main container ports.
In recent years, Lianyungang has actively facilitated the
construction of infrastructure under the Belt and Road Initiative
(BRI) and set up an international logistics platform with
distinctive features to promote the construction of the
cross-border international logistics transportation channel.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization Logistics Enterprises B2B
Meeting was also held in Lianyungang on Saturday which attracted 10
enterprises in China's logistics
industry. They mainly talked about business cooperation in terms of
the new intermodal logistics transportation channel between
Asia and Europe, and related logistics needs from SCO
members.
