A freight train carrying donated face masks and other anti-coronavirus supplies is currently on the way to Madrid.

 

The service is an initiative of China Railway Express YXE and marks the reopening of the line, which had been closed up till Saturday due to the coronavirus outbreak in China. “We have decided to offer free shipment, customs clearance and services to all donations from China to Spain using our platform”, said Carlos Santana, General Manager of the operating company.

 

Donation


The donation included 100.000 disposable medical Timex masks, 15.000 Gauze masks and 800 protection suits for Spain to keep fighting the coronavirus outbreak. It was the first China-Europe freight train to carry anti-epidemic supplies to Europe, which will arrive in Madrid in about two weeks.

The materials on the first train were donated by YXE Trading Service Group and Yiwu Yitong Europe Logistics Covery. It can easily be recognised, as the containers shout slogans (in Spanish) as ‘Sunshine always comes after the rain’, ‘The light of hope has risen on the horizon’ and ‘One Belt One Road’, expressing the good wishes of the Chinese people.
