BEIJING: Weeks after the conclusion of the 12th International Union of Railways (UIC) World Congress on High-Speed Rail, industry leaders are still taking stock of China’s rapid railway development and its expanding global influence.
Held on July 8-11 in Beijing, the congress drew over 2,000 participants from more than 60 countries, regions and international organisations. For many, the event offered first-hand insight into China’s achievements and provided a potential roadmap for boosting global connectivity.
