全国两会双语特别策划①丨“空中丝路”越织越密

Editor's note: President Xi Jinping stressed the importance of expanding and strengthening the Air Silk Road linking China with Luxembourg during his meeting with Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg on February 6, who came to China for the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. In recent years, Central China's Henan province has strengthened its opening-up policies in all areas, become an active participant of the Belt and Road Initiative and promoted the coordinated development of its four "Silk Roads" (namely the Air Silk Road, the Land Silk Road, the Online Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road), becoming more closely connected with the world. During China's "Two Sessions", we are launching a special coverage featuring four stories about Henan's four "Silk Roads" to show the world a new image of Henan. Here is the first episode: With the Air Silk Road, we fly higher.

编者按：2月6日，国家主席习近平在人民大会堂会见来华出席北京2022年冬奥会开幕式的卢森堡大公亨利，强调做大做强中卢货运航线“空中丝路”。近年来，河南加快对外开放步伐，积极融入“一带一路”建设，着力打造空中、陆上、网上、海上四条“丝绸之路”，与世界的联系越来越密切，交流越来越频繁。全国两会期间，为了更好地向世界展示开放河南的新形象，河南日报对外宣传部、大河网联合推出双语系列特别报道。今日请看第一期：《“空中丝路”越织越密》。

On February 6, Chinese President Xi Jinping, met with Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, who came to China for the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, capital of China. President Xi Jinping stressed the importance of expanding and strengthening the Air Silk Road linking China with Luxembourg.

2月6日，国家主席习近平在人民大会堂会见来华出席北京2022年冬奥会开幕式的卢森堡大公亨利。习近平强调，做大做强中卢货运航线“空中丝路”。

In January 2014, Henan Civil Aviation Development and Investment Corporation acquired a 35 percent stake in Cargolux Airlines International, the largest cargo airlines in Europe. Since then, Central China's Henan province has entered a new stage in the Belt and Road Initiative through international aviation cooperation. During a meeting with Luxembourg's Prime Minister Xavier Bettel on June 14, 2017, President Xi Jinping pointed out China's support in building an Air Silk Road between Luxembourg and Zhengzhou.

2014年1月，河南民航发展投资有限公司收购欧洲最大全货运航空公司——卢森堡货航35%股权，正式开启了以国际航空合作融入“一带一路”建设的征程。2017年6月14日，国家主席习近平在会见卢森堡首相贝泰尔时指出，中方支持建设郑州—卢森堡“空中丝绸之路”。

Cargolux has made striking achievements since its first launch 8 years ago, such as 14 weekly flights, 14 international destinations and more than 100 cities covered in Europe, America and Asia. Of Zhengzhou airport's total international cargo volume, over one third (850 thousand tons) was contributed by Cargolux. The Air Silk Road has helped inland Henan to achieve new breakthroughs in opening-up.

8年来，卢森堡货航在郑州的航班由最初每周2班加密至每周14班；通航点由最初2个增至14个；航线覆盖欧美亚三大洲24个国家100多个城市；累计货运量85万吨，占郑州机场国际货运量三分之一以上，这条“空中丝绸之路”带动内陆河南实现对外开放新突破。

It is worth noting that the Air Silk Road has never been suspended even during the pandemic, hence making it a vital lifeline for the world as a bridge in the air.

尤其是面对突如其来的新冠肺炎疫情，2020年以来“空中丝路”不断航，为全球架起雪中送炭的“空中桥梁”。

During the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, the European athletes' super large sports equipment was transported to Zhengzhou by Cargolux first, and then to Beijing.

此外，在北京冬奥会期间，卢森堡货航发挥其专业运输优势，及时、高效、安全地为欧洲运动员运送超大超常规体育器材与设备到郑州后，再经由卡车航班闭环运送至北京，保障了运动员训练参赛需求。
