中老鐵路投運“滿月” 客貨外貿運輸紅利到來

　1月3日，連接中國昆明和老撾首都萬象的中老鐵路全線開通運營“滿月”。一個月來，中老鐵路客運服務極大方便了當地人員交通出行，貨運則為促進雙邊經貿往來提供便利。客貨兩旺，中老鐵路客貨運輸紅利初顯。

　　記者從老中鐵路有限公司獲悉，截至2022年1月2日，中老鐵路老撾段共開行動車組列車64對，累計發送旅客4.58萬人；共開行貨物列車49.5對，累計發送貨物4.99萬噸，呈現出客貨兩旺局面。

　　雖然有疫情防控措施要求，中老鐵路“瀾滄號”動車組每逢周末和節假日便“一票難求”。方便、安全、快捷的中老鐵路，已經成為老撾人民交通出行的重要選擇，每天都有不少老撾民眾在車站排隊購票，體驗中老鐵路給他們工作生活帶來的巨大變化。

　　記者還了解到，中老鐵路開通以來，從萬象始發前往中國的貨運列車始終處于繁忙狀態。目前，中老鐵路老撾段貨運列車訂單充沛。

　　亞鉀國際老撾鉀鹽公司生產的鉀肥搭乘中老鐵路首趟跨國貨運列車從萬象運往中國。該公司總經理佟永恒對記者說：“通過中老鐵路運抵昆明的鉀肥產品已經陸續投放至周邊市場。中老鐵路為亞鉀國際老撾工廠將鉀肥直接運到中國新增了一趟更安全、穩定、便捷的‘直通車’。鉀肥產品出口增加老撾政府收入，也將對保障中國鉀肥供應發揮重要作用，互利雙贏。”

　　該公司化驗員紐娜·西帕博是住在公司周邊的村民。她對記者說：“公司項目啟動后，周邊村莊有了很大變化和發展。老中鐵路開通后老撾交通運輸會越來越便利。愿老中鐵路為老撾人民造福，讓老中關系更密切。”

　　老中鐵路有限公司總經理袁明豪向記者介紹，中老鐵路大大提高了老撾與中國間的大宗商品貿易效率，讓中老雙邊經濟貿易合作更加便利、高效。“為確保中老鐵路貨物運輸通關便利，公司一方面不斷優化貨運組織，簡化貨運辦理流程，提高裝卸效率，另一方面進一步加強與海關等政府職能部門對接聯系，簡化通關手續、降低通關費用，加快貨物通關速度。”
