Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. On January 27, Head of ‘Ulaanbaatar Railway’ JSC Kh.Kherlen was informed by the side of China that works to extend and renew the Erlian border checkpoint and the Erlian-Jinin autoroad will be launched after the Lunar New Year.
Currently, freight transported by 14 trains are being handed over to the side of China through the border checkpoint each day due to the decision to have goods and products only be transported in containers. However, with the increased capacity of the Erlian border checkpoint, it becomes possible to increase the amount of exports from Mongolia.
The issue concerning the extension of the Erlian border checkpoint was one of the suggestions put forth during the virtual meeting that took place between the two countries’ railway authorities.
The two sides affirmed their willingness to comprehensively cooperate in order to make contributions to the development of railway transport in the two countries.
