Besides taking part in logistics forums and exhibitions in Chongqing and Chengdu, the Belarusian Railways delegation also met with top officials of the industry park of Jiangjin Luohuan and the railway logistic center Xiaonanya, which are the connection hub of inland waterway and railway transport in the region of southwestern China.

Apart from that, a meeting with representatives of the logistics office of the Chongqing government took place. Belarus’ Consul General in Chongqing Dmitry Yemelyanov took part in it. In addition, negotiations were held with the largest transportation and logistics platforms Yuxinou (Chongqing) and CDIRS (Chengdu), which consolidate container shipments between Belarus and Europe, and with the transportation and logistics company Baisheng (Chengdu).
