Recently, the launching ceremony of the first train of a combined sea-rail transport service to Africa was held in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province. A freight train carrying 1,935 tons of China’s food assistance to Africa left Zhuzhou for the Port of Nansha in Guangzhou. Then the goods on the train were transferred onto a ship to reach Mombasa Port in Kenya.


China-Africa Rail-Sea Express Train creates an important channel for the transportation of goods from Central and West China to Africa. It marks a new achievement of the China-Africa cooperation in the new era.
