In 2025, Shaanxi Province in northwest China aims to strengthen its position as a key logistics hub by creating an economic circle centered around China-Europe international railway freight. This initiative will integrate logistics, trade, finance, and industry, fostering coordinated regional development and enhancing global connectivity.

In 2024, freight transportation between China and Europe via Shaanxi reached 524,000 TEUs, a 21.9% increase compared to the previous year. A major milestone was the opening of the Kazakhstan transport and logistics terminal at the Xi'an International Port, significantly boosting efficiency in shipments to Central Asia.

The province's total foreign trade turnover grew by 12.3% in 2024, with trade with five Central Asian countries increasing by 48.1%. In 2025, Shaanxi plans to further develop pilot free trade zones, enhance bonded area quality, and promote projects related to agricultural technologies under the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

The region is also set to host major events, including the Eurasian Economic Forum, the Forum on China-Europe Freight Trains, and the China-Russia SME Forum.

Additionally, Shaanxi aims to expand digital trade, establish overseas warehouses, and tap into new markets in Central Asia, West Asia, and Russia. These initiatives are designed to solidify Shaanxi's role as a global logistics and trade hub.
