Leaders from Central and Eastern European (CEE) nations took a ride on a China-made bullet train on Wednesday from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province to Shanghai, at the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang. China has actively tried to export its high-speed rail technology in recent years, with media showing the premier as the country’s top railway salesman.
周三,中国总理李克强邀请中东欧国家领导人乘坐中国高铁,高铁是从江苏苏州开往上海。中国积极寻求将中国的高铁技术出口到国外,媒体称总理是中国高铁的最强推销员。
Li’s invitation came minutes after China signed two deals with Hungary and Serbia on Tuesday on the construction of a rail link between the Serbian and Hungarian capitals. Details of the two deals were not immediately known, but Li had promised earlier that construction work on the railway would begin by the end of the year and will be completed within two years. Earlier reports said the high-speed rail link could cut travel time between Budapest and Belgrade by more than half. Once completed, the railway will help create a fast lane for trade between China and Europe.
李克强总理和匈牙利以及塞尔维亚于周二签订协议,开通连接匈牙利和塞尔维亚首都的铁路建设,之后就邀请中东欧国家领导人乘坐中国高铁。协议细节现在尚未知晓,但李克强总理之前就说道中国铁路建设将于今年年底开工,并于两年内结束。之前报告称,匈塞铁路将会把连接贝尔格莱德和布达佩斯的路程时间缩短一半多。这条铁路完成后,将会成为中欧的快捷通道。
"The railway not only connects Serbia with Hungary, it also links with the rail network in southern Europe," Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday.
“这条铁路不仅连接了贝尔格莱德和布达佩斯,它也成为连接整个南欧的铁路线,”塞尔维亚总理Aleksandar Vucic 周二说道。
