China has signed Belt and Road cooperation documents with over 150 countries, 30-plus international organizations

(ECNS) -- China has signed cooperation documents on jointly building the Belt and Road with more than 150 countries and over 30 international organizations, a senior official said Wednesday.

The cooperation partners cover three-quarters of the world's countries and major international organizations, Liang Linchong, director general of the Department of Regional Opening-up at the National Development and Reform Commission, said at a press conference.

The China-Europe freight train service has opened a new land transport route between Asia and Europe, with more than 140,000 trips made to date, carrying goods worth over 560 billion yuan (about $78.7 billion).

The service now reaches 237 cities in 26 European countries. Trains on the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route are operating daily, while the northern, central and southern corridors remain generally safe, stable and unobstructed, Liang said.
