The land-sea trade corridor has now developed into a logistics network connecting 92 countries and 234 ports around the world.

China Railway Nanning Group Co Ltd has been taking an active role in the construction and development of the land-sea trade corridor, carrying out measures like stabilizing prices and cutting fees to reduce logistics costs for companies.
