A freight train, loaded with 6.8 tones of international mail, left Wuhan, capital city of Hubei Province on May 4, heading for Europe and countries along the Belt and Road.

  Its departure marks the regular operation of international mail service provided by China-Europe Railway Express (Wuhan).

  As early as June 20, 2020, a China-Europe freight train carried 2.75 tones of mail from Wuhan to Europe for the first time.
