A caravan of trucks is scheduled to set off from Beijing today bound for Brussels as part of a pilot project to reestablish a new ‘silk road‘ to boost trade between China and Europe, state media said.
The expedition is part of China’s efforts to promote barrier-free road transport between China and Europe and rekindle the spirit of the ancient Silk Road, the China Daily said.
The pilot shipment of goods is expected to reach its final destination on Oct 17, after passing through the cities of Astana, Kazakhstan; Moscow, Russia; Riga, Latvia; Vilnius, Lithuania; Warsaw, Poland and Berlin, Germany.
