Hunchun: A freight train carrying 46 containers of goods left the border city of Hunchun in northeast China's Jilin Province heading for the Russian capital city of Moscow, marking the launch of a new postal train service.

According to Namibia Press Agency, the container train was fully loaded with goods including daily necessities, household appliances, and electronic products. Hunchun, located near Russia's frozen coastline and the secluded mountains of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), has become an important hub connecting China with both Russia and the hinterland of Europe through the development of its railway network.

Since the launch of the first Hunchun-Makhalino Railway postal special train service in November 2023, 164 train trips have been conducted, transporting over 380,000 items of goods. The launch of the new train service is a step to further facilitate logistics and transportation of cross-border trade goods in this region.
