Jilin province in Northeast China will speed up the development of the Changchun-Jilin-Tumenjiang pilot zone in the next five years, to enhance the cooperation with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Russia and Mongolia, according to a leading official from Jilin government.

"The development of the Tumenjiang area has entered a new phase. As the cooperation between China, Russia, the DPRK, the Republic of Korea and Mongolia deepens, the area will become an international logistics corridor," said Chen Weigen, deputy governor of Jilin province.

The zone, accounting for one-third of Jilin province's population and half of the province's economic output, is the key area connecting China with Northeast Asia.

The province will reopen the Hunchun-Kamesova railway in 2013, followed by new policies that aim to promote the existing joint rail and water transportation routes between China, Russia, the DPRK, the ROK, Japan and other countries.
