China supports building a Silk Road in the air between Luxembourg and Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province, President Xi Jinping said when meeting with visiting Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel in Beijing. The airfreight industry has been a highlight of Bettel’s official visit to China. Bettel and Premier Li Keqiang witnessed the signing of a joint investment deal involving airline freight shipping companies from Luxembourg and Henan province. Since airfreight operations between the two started in 2014, shipments to and from Luxembourg have accounted for nearly a fourth of Zhengzhou airport’s total cargo shipments. President Xi said the two countries should nurture new highlights of cooperation, including shipping by air, high and leading technologies, and green economy to achieve greater mutual benefits. Luxembourg is also ready to boost cooperation within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, Bettel said. The two countries signed agreements in areas including internet financing, public security and joint film shooting.
