At the end of June 2022, to support epidemic prevention and control in the sister-city Chisinau, Moldova, Xi'an donated a ventilator to it. After receiving the task of guaranteeing air transportation for the donation, which was entrusted by the Foreign Affairs Office of the CPC Xi'an Municipal Committee, Xi'an International Inland Port Multimodal Transportation Co., Ltd. (ITL Multimodal Transportation) established a special transportation team for air freight and provided a complete set of logistics solutions covering air trunk lines and rapid customs clearance.
On July 7, the ventilator arrived in Chisinau and was donated to the Municipal Clinical Hospital of Contagious Diseases for Children in Chisinau. Yan Wenbin, China's Ambassador to Moldova, and Ion Ceban, Mayor of Chisinau, attended the donation ceremony. Now, the ventilator is in use and will assist in clinical decision-making and treatment. After completing the logistics guarantee of donating epidemic prevention supplies to Kazakhstan, ITL Multimodal Transportation once again ensured the air transportation of donating epidemic prevention suppliers of Xi'an.
Since 2021, on the basis of promoting the high-quality development of China Railway Express (Chang'an), ITL Multimodal Transportation has also actively launched diversified services such as air and sea transportation to provide clients with all-round and diversified comprehensive logistics solutions. Entrusted by the Foreign Affairs Office of the CPC Xi'an Municipal Committee, ITL Multimodal Transportation actively undertakes the air transportation task. While ensuring the timeliness of the transportation of epidemic prevention supplies, it has been fully recognized by the Foreign Affairs Office of the CPC Xi'an Municipal Committee and the Moldovan side.
Ventilator donation ceremony at the Municipal Clinical Hospital of Contagious Diseases for Children in Chisinau
On November 17, 2021, Xi'an established a sister-city relationship with Chisinau, the capital of Moldova. As the capital of a landlocked country in Southeast Europe, Chisinau is an important hub of regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. In March of 2022, Moldova provided friendly support for China's organization to evacuate Chinese nationals from Ukraine. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic in Moldova was severe, and the Chinese government also provided emergency humanitarian assistance to Moldova in the first place. Xi'an has paid active attention to the situation of its sister city Chisinau, and donated a ventilator to the city according to the material needs and sent it to Chisinau as soon as possible. This batch of epidemic prevention suppliers will provide a reliable guarantee for local children and relieve the urgent need.
In November 2021, the two cities signed an agreement on establishing sister-city relations
The pandemic knows no borders. We believe that through sincere mutual assistance in the pandemic, Xi'an will be closer to the sister cities overseas. ITL Multimodal Transportation will further optimize the route operation plan, deeply integrate itself into the Belt and Road Initiative, and actively participate in the construction of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, to continuously improve the accessibility of the land corridor of the New Eurasian Land Bridge. It is determined to build the China Railway Express (Xi'an) Collaboration Center, and build an international trade corridor with high efficiency, low cost and excellent services in inland areas.
