  On February 6, President Xi Jinping met with Grand Duke Henry of Luxembourg, who had come to China to attend the opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, at the Great Hall of the People. Xi Jinping stressed that the "Air Silk Road" of the China-Lu cargo route is bigger and stronger.

  In January 2014, Henan Civil Aviation Development and Investment Co., Ltd. acquired a 35% stake in Luxembourg Cargo Airlines, the largest all-cargo airline in Europe, officially starting the journey of integrating international aviation cooperation into the "Belt and Road" construction. On June 14, 2017, When meeting with Luxembourg Prime Minister Bertel, President Xi Jinping pointed out that China supports the construction of the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg "Aerial Silk Road".

  In the past 8 years, Luxembourg Cargo Airlines' flights in Zhengzhou have been encrypted from the initial 2 times a week to 14 times a week; the number of navigation points has increased from the initial 2 to 14; the routes cover more than 100 cities in 24 countries on the three continents of Europe, America and Asia; the cumulative cargo volume is 850,000 tons, accounting for more than one-third of the international cargo volume of Zhengzhou Airport.

  Especially in the face of the sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia, the "Air Silk Road" has been sailing continuously since 2020, building an "air bridge" for the world to send charcoal in the snow.

  In addition, during the Beijing Winter Olympics, Luxembourg Cargo Airlines gave full play to its professional transportation advantages to deliver oversized ultra-conventional sports equipment and equipment to Zhengzhou for European athletes in a timely, efficient and safe manner, and then transported to Beijing through a closed loop of truck flights, ensuring the athletes' training and participation needs.

  "2022 is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Rwanda, and we will take this as an opportunity to continue to work hard and contribute to the construction of the 'Belt and Road'." Zhang Mingchao, secretary of the party committee and chairman of Henan Aviation Investment, said that the next step will be based on air transport, expand the deep integration of industrial chain and supply chain, smooth the domestic and international double circulation, enhance the strength, resilience and vitality of Zhengzhou's aviation economy, expand foreign cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, finance and humanities, and promote the "Air Silk Road" to become bigger and stronger.
