Pakistan Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi has said that new cargo route between Pakistan and China will help spur bilateral trade between the two countries.
In a statement, he said it is a significant step forward in bilateral connectivity spectrum.
He said four airlines with several weekly commercial flights were already operating between both countries.
Ambassador Hashmi said the new air cargo route was launched last week linking Ezhou Huahu Airport in central China’s Hubei Province with Lahore.
He said the opening of this international cargo route will provide an efficient and stable air logistics channel for economic and trade exchanges between China and Pakistan, and provide more logistics convenience for Chinese brands to explore the Pakistani market.
The route is planned to operate three times a week, providing over 300 tons of air transport capacity from Ezhou to Lahore every week.
