Railway transportation accounted for about 50% of my country's total import and export cargo transportation, and was the main mode of transportation for my country's import and export trade at that time. After entering the 1960s, with the development of my country's maritime cargo transportation, although the proportion of imported and exported goods transported by railway has declined, its role is still very important. Since the 1950s, the vast majority of my country's import and export goods with North Korea, Mongolia, Vietnam, and the former Soviet Union have still been transported by rail; my country's imports and exports with some countries in Western Europe, Northern Europe, and the Middle East have also been carried out through international railway transport.
