CRI听力:Railway Project Ups Turkey-China Economic Ties

2014-07-28来源:CRI

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has inaugurated the first high-speed train linking Ankara and Istanbul.

The project is the first Chinese-produced high speed rail-line to be completed in a foreign country.

"This railway has been built in the most complex geographical regions. I thank you for your work and contribution, as well as that from our friends and governments in China and Spain. "

The rail link itself has cut the travel time from Ankara to Istanbul by half.

"If I am going to Istanbul, I want to take the high speed train, since it costs less money and takes less time compared to taking a coach."

The collaboration on the rail link is part of the Chinese government's "go global" strategy.
