Tunisia receives 60 Chinese rail cars

Tunisian National Railway Co received 60 Chinese-made rail cars on July 11 dedicated to transporting cereals. The cars were produced by Baotou Beifang Chuangye, a Chinese company specializing in the manufacture of freight vehicles that has great potential for international development and competitiveness. 

Ridha Saidi, adviser to Tunisian Prime Minister Youssef Chahed, said the rail cars will be used to transport grain on two lines, connecting the capital of Tunis to Bizerte in the north and Ghar-dimaou in the northwest. 

According to Saidi, the economic and trade cooperation between Tunisia and China "should take a more intense pace".
