On July 10, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences on "Promoting High-quality Development".

At the meeting, Li Xiaopeng, Minister of Transport, said that China has initially formed an international logistics service system with international shipping as the main body, supplemented by international aviation, China-Europe trains, international express delivery, and international road transport.

Li Xiaopeng introduced that our international shipping has undertaken more than 95% of China's import and export volume, and international air cargo has become the main mode of transportation for high-end goods with strong timeliness and high added value. In 2023, 3.11 billion pieces of international and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan mail express were completed throughout the year, which strongly supported the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce. In 2023, a total of 17,000 China-Europe trains were launched and 1.9 million standard containers were shipped. In addition, in terms of international road transport, the freight volume completed in 2023 increased by 105% year-on-year. In terms of transportation service capabilities, whether it is shipping, aviation, international express delivery, or international road transport, new progress has been made. In the next step, we will work with relevant departments to focus on open cooperation, strive to promote the construction of diversified international logistics channels, and continue to promote international logistics connectivity.
