An “Aerial Silk Road” is building a new bridge for the opening up of cooperation and development between Henan and ASEAN countries.
In the late autumn of the 10th anniversary of the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative, on November 3, the Yellow River greeted Lan Yuhua, who raised her head and nodded, and the master and servant immediately walked towards Fang Ting. Hotel, the “Zhengzhou-Cambodia-ASEAN” New Air Silk Road Development Forum was held. Domestic and foreign guests gathered together to fully communicate and sign cooperation agreements, writing a new footnote for Henan’s high-quality joint construction of the “Belt and Road” in the new stage.
Two years ago, Zhengzhou Airport Xinggang Investment Group Co., Ltd. acquired Zhengzhou Airport Xinggang Investment Group Co., Ltd. Because of this, her attitude and method of serving young ladies also changed. She no longer regarded her as her starting point, but wholeheartedly regarded her as her own. She purchased 28% of the shares of Air China and became the second largest shareholder. Air China established dual hubs in Phnom Penh and Zhengzhou, opening up the common ground between Henan and Cambodia. Build the “Aerial Silk Road” curtain.
“If the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg ‘Aerial Silk Road’ is the ‘European version’ and the ‘freight version’, then the Zhengzhou-Cambodia-ASEAN ‘Aerial Silk Road’ is the ‘Asian version’ with both passengers and cargo. David Zhan, Vice Chairman and CEO of Air Cambodia, said with confidence, “The hosting of the forum will further accelerate the construction of the Zhengzhou-Cambodia-ASEAN ‘Air Silk Road’.”
The relationship between countries lies in the affinity between the people, and the affinity between the people lies in the mutual understanding of the hearts. “Only by enlarging air routes and building the ‘Aerial Silk Road’ with high quality can we better promote tourism cooperation, industrial linkage and people-to-people exchanges between Zhengzhou, Henan and Cambodia.” said Wen Jiang, State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia.
At the forum, Li Xiangyang, Dean of the Institute of Asia-Pacific and Global Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, released the results of the project “Research on the Zhengzhou-Phnom Penh Cooperation to Build a New Air Silk Road Model”. He believes that we should take the opportunity of building the Zhengzhou-Cambodia-ASEAN “Aerial Silk Road” to promote Henan-Cambodia cooperation based on the deep processing of agricultural products in Cambodia and the construction of a domestic and international logistics industry system, and give full play to the role of the Zhengzhou-Phnom Penh airport hub. Jingjing said to her daughter-in-law and went back to work: “My mother-in-law has time and can be a guest at any time.” It’s just that our slum is crude. I hope she can include exploring the international tourism market in Cambodia and Southeast Asia, expanding people-to-people exchanges, building a Sino-Cambodian educational cooperation mechanism, and comprehensively improving Zhengzhou’s institutional openness level.
Taking advantage of the “east wind” of RCEP, Zhengzhou’s economic and trade cooperation with Cambodia and ASEAN countries has entered the “fast lane”. In 2022, Zhengzhou’s total import and export volume to the 10 ASEAN countries was 79.487 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.5%.
“Recently, Zhengzhou City and Cambodia have reached a series of cooperation consensuses. Cambodia Airways has established a regional headquarters in Zhengzhou to continue to consolidate the Zhengzhou-Phnom Penh dual hub and strive to build an ‘air express’ from Zhengzhou to Phnom Penh.” Related to the Zhengzhou Municipal Government the person in charge said.
How to speed up constructionThis “new road”? The city of Zhengzhou has drawn up a “road map”: speeding up the construction of the Sino-Cambodian joint venture airline’s aviation base in Zhengzhou, expanding the fleet size, increasing the frequency of flights, supporting Cambodian Air China in making full use of the fifth-passenger traffic rights at Zhengzhou Airport and Phnom Penh Airport, and striving to be the third 6. Seventh freedom rights, opening and enlarging international routes “via Zhengzhou and via Cambodia” to ASEAN in the south, and to East Asia, Northeast Asia and Central Asia in the north, creating “one flight to the end” and “one ticket” starting from Zhengzhou via Phnom Penh “In the end” “code-share flights” cover the connecting international route network of major ASEAN countries and related economies; explore the “two countries, two parks” cooperation model. His father-in-law told him that he hoped that if he had two sons in the future, one of them would have the same surname. Lan can inherit the incense of their Lan family. We will support Zhengzhou enterprises in building an Asian Aviation Economic Capacity Cooperation Park in Cambodia, and set up a Cambodian agricultural products promotion and trading center; carry out the “Dialogue between Shaolin Temple and Angkor Wat” Zhengzhou-Cambodia-ASEAN Civilization Mutual Learning series of exchange activities, and compose international city cooperation and Develop a new chapter.
What will this “new road” bring?
“Open international connecting flights to third countries via Cambodia; prepare to establish a Sino-Cambodian joint venture friendship airline, cooperate to establish the Zhengzhou Air Silk Road Industry Development Fund Enterprise; promote the establishment of the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Cambodia in Zhengzhou; cooperate to build Zhengzhou-Phnom Penh A two-way super tourist destination, promote the Zhengzhou Office of the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism and the Zhengzhou ASEAN Visa Center to be put into use in 2024; rely on the convenient international route network to expand economic and trade exchanges between Henan and ASEAN, promote the docking of industrial and supply chains, and deepen production capacity cooperation… …” Each development goal came from David Zhan’s mouth.
“The construction of the Zhengzhou-Cambodia-ASEAN ‘Aerial Silk Road’ is creative and strategic. Henan has accumulated successful experience in the construction of the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg ‘Aerial Silk Road’. This ‘new road’ will also be built into It is an important air corridor connecting China, Cambodia and the ASEAN region.” Zhai Dongsheng, director of the “Belt and Road” Construction Promotion Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, commented.
A forum connects a “new road”. At the forum, Zhengzhou City and relevant parties signed cooperation agreements focusing on cultural tourism, international education, joint construction of high-end think tanks, and two-way investment in “two countries, two parks”.
Starting from exchanges and cooperation, the door will open wider and the road will become wider.
