[National Development and Reform Commission: From January to October, the container transportation volume of the Western Land-Sea Corridor rail-sea intermodal trains has exceeded 1 million TEUs] On November 11, the National Development and Reform Commission held a series of press conferences for the "15th Five-Year Plan" to introduce the situation related to the joint construction of the "Belt and Road". Liang Linchong, director of the Department of Regional Opening of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that by actively integrating into the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", China's central and western regions and border areas have gradually become "frontiers" from the "end" of opening up, and the opening up and development of coastal areas have been taken to a higher level. The construction of the "Belt and Road" core areas in Xinjiang and Fujian has continued to achieve new results. From January to October this year, the container transportation volume of the rail-sea intermodal trains of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor has exceeded 1 million TEUs, and the Pinglu Canal has been completed and opened to navigation, forming an artery for opening up to the outside world throughout the southwest. In the first three quarters of this year, China's central and western regions accounted for 18.7% of the country's total trade volume in goods, an increase of 7.4 percentage points from the same period in 2013. The achievement of these achievements has provided strong support for China to expand high-level opening up to the outside world and accelerate the construction of a new development pattern.
