"Expand cooperation from aviation logistics to economy, trade, finance and other fields", "enrich the connotation and extension of the Air Silk Road" and "expand from hard connectivity to soft connectivity to heart connectivity"... At the Zhengzhou-Kuala Lumpur Air Silk Road International Cooperation Forum held at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia on 18th, guests from China and ASEAN countries look forward to accelerating the construction of cross-border "double hub" platform and helping the development of the Air Silk Road.

Guests at the meeting said that drawing on the experience of Zhengzhou-Luxembourg Airlines "dual hub" cooperation, China and Malaysia have great potential and promising prospects to jointly build a Zhengzhou-Kuala Lumpur "dual hub" cooperation model.

This was filmed by Malaysian Transport Minister Lu Mefou on September 18 at the Zhengzhou-Kyolampo ¡°Air Silk Road¡± International Cooperation Forum held at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia.

In his speech, Malaysia¡¯s transport minister, Lu Mefou, pointed out that Malaysia is China¡¯s second-largest trading partner in ASEAN and the largest source of imports.Through the ¡°double hub¡± cooperation model, Malaysia-China air freight will further expand and mutual benefit and win.

China's Embassy in Malaysia said that as a pioneer of the "Air Silk Road", Henan reached a consensus on cooperation with relevant Malaysian parties, marking a more solid pace in the construction of the "Air Silk Road".

Explore connectivity opportunities

Freight routes from the initial 1 weekly to 7 routes, cumulative transportation of goods 14,000 tons; in 2024, the Hanoi province with Malaysia trade value exceeded 16 billion yuan, this year's first seven months growth of 33.5%; Malaysia cumulative investment in Hanoi 70 enterprises ... rising trade data, frequent interaction and close humanitarian exchanges, became a lively footprint of China-Malay cooperation.

Muhd Izani Ghani, managing director of Malaysia Airport Holdings Co., Ltd., said that the "Air Silk Road" is not an abstract concept, but is embodied in opening up routes, carrying goods and deepening partnerships. Facts have proved that the Kuala Lumpur-Zhengzhou route has great potential. The strong demand of cross-border e-commerce and the synergy of belly cabin capacity of all-cargo aircraft and passenger aircraft make it one of the rapidly growing routes.

Efficient logistics, convenient customs and close collaboration continued to help open new markets. In August last year, the first Malaysian fresh food granite to enter the Chinese market landed in Hanoi, taking only 36 hours from the fruit garden to the ground in the middle of the plain. Malaysian peanuts, bamboo, coconut and other high-quality fruits also "fly" to Hanoi.

The guests said that under the guidance of aviation logistics, the two sides continued to interact and vividly demonstrated new achievements and new practices in economic and social development, and the cooperation is presenting a comprehensive, multi-level and diversified development trend.
