The first air cargo route from China's eastern province of Jiangxi to Bangladesh officially opened on Tuesday.
An all-cargo plane carrying 55 tons of clothing and general merchandise departed from Nanchang City on Tuesday and headed for Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.
The route is set to operate two flights per week, mainly transporting general cargo, cross-border e-commerce goods and edible aquatic products, which can effectively meet the demand for air cargo from Jiangxi to the South Asian nation.
The opening of this air route is expected to give a boost to the trade between Jiangxi and South Asian countries, and also provide more convenient and efficient logistics services for the economic and trade cooperation between the province and the Belt and Road partner countries and regions.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva met with visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Brasilia on Wednesday, expressing the willingness to strengthen bilateral ties and expand cooperation.
Lula said that Brazil and China have built strong mutual trust and deepened cooperation across various fields, showing that Brazil's steadfast friendship with China is the right choice and a model for South-South cooperation.
He said that he looks forward to maintaining close high-level exchanges with China, further strengthening economic and trade ties, and expanding the mutually beneficial cooperation in finance, energy and other fields.
China's firm and forceful countermeasures against the "reciprocal tariffs" is admirable, said the Brazilian president, noting that China's just actions have received widespread support while certain country's irresponsible and unilateral practices warrant joint resistance.
Brazil is willing to work with China to advocate free trade, defend international rules, and counter any power overriding international justice, the president added.
Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that China is willing to work with Brazil to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and push for more outcomes in building a China-Brazil community with a shared future.
China will strengthen its cooperation with BRICS and Global South countries, adhere to multilateralism and safeguard international rules, he said.
On the same day, Wang attended the 15th Meeting of BRICS National Security Advisers and High Representatives on National Security in Brasilia.
