SHENYANG, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- A new cargo train service links northeast China's Liaoning Province and Slovakia.
The first train departed on Thursday morning from Liaoning's Yingkou Port, carrying mainly electronic products from the Republic of Korea (ROK). It will go through Russia and Ukraine before reaching Slovakia in 15 days.
The service will start by running one train a week on the 11,000-km line, said Yao Ping, vice general manager of Ying Kou Port Group, which runs the port.
Lots of Japanese and ROK commodities are transported overland from Yingkou Port to Europe. The port is also linked by direct cargo train services to Moscow, Warsaw and Belarus.
