Although Henan and Luxembourg are thousands of miles apart, relying on an “Aerial Silk Road”, increasingly close economic and trade cooperation and colorful cultural exchanges have narrowed the distance between the two sides.
On the afternoon of June 20, local time, China (Henan) -. “Wait in the room, the servant will be back soon.” After saying that, she immediately opened the door and walked out through the crack in the door. Luxembourg economic, trade and cultural exchange activities were held at the Luxembourg Expo Center.

This is not only a feast of ideological collision, but also a platform for win-win cooperation. Executives from Fortune 500 companies such as Bosch, Bayer and Allianz attended the meeting and signed 14 major projects on site, mainly involving advanced manufacturing, aviation logistics, cultural tourism and other fields. In addition, about 60 companies from Europe communicated with 21 companies from our province participating in the conference, and reached a number of cooperation intentions in areas such as equipment manufacturing, food processing, and cross-border e-commerce. This will inject new impetus and vitality into deepening cooperation between Henan and Europe and promoting the high-quality development of the “Aerial Silk Road”.
Regarding the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg “Aerial Silk Road”, Xu Chen, President of the EU-China Chamber of Commerce, commented: “It is a model of fruitful cooperation between regions, promoting the circulation of goods, promoting trade development, and strengthening the ties between China and Europe. ”
Luxembourg is one of the international financial centers. Seven major Chinese banks, including China Construction Bank, have established institutions here, forming a financial service network based in Luxembourg and radiating to Europe. The signing of a financial cooperation agreement between CCB Europe (Luxembourg Branch), CCB Henan Branch and China Yu Airlines (Henan) Co., Ltd. will strengthen financial support for Henan Aviation Investment and promote the financial integration of the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg “Air Silk Road” .

Get to know each otherNo matter how far or near we are, we are still neighbors thousands of miles away. At the scene, the person in charge of the relevant government department of our province issued a sincere invitation: “Henan is an open highland in inland China and a hot spot for investment. We sincerely welcome Luxembourg and European entrepreneurs and friends to invest in Henan to discuss cooperation, seek common development, and work together to create a better future.” future.”
From a shipping route to a network reaching the world, from trade exchanges to people-to-people bonds, I believe that in the near future, the high-quality development path between Zheng and Lu will become wider and wider.
