Abstract

In recent years, with the proposal and steady advancement of the "Belt and Road" Initiative, the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor in Western China (NILSTC) has emerged as a crucial cross-border logistics channel. Ensuring its orderly and efficient operation is of great significance for enhancing trade facilitation and promoting regional economic cooperation. As an important foundation for the smooth development of cross-border railway transport along the NILSTC, the improvement of transport rules directly affects the effectiveness of cross-border railway transport. It can effectively improve transport efficiency, optimize the transport environment, and thus safeguard the high-quality development of cross-border railway transport along the NILSTC. Therefore, this paper first elaborates on the current situation of cross-border railway transport rules for the NILSTC, then analyzes the existing problems, and finally proposes a series of effective improvement strategies, aiming to provide certain reference for relevant researchers.
