Ulaanbaatar
Transit transport might be 2nd OT for Mongolia
视频The trilateral consultative meeting on the development of the economic rail corridor of Mongolia, Russia and China took place on September 13 in Ulaanbaatar.
The meeting was attended by the Ministry of Road and Transport Development, the Ulaanbaatar Railways and Mongolian Railways on the part of Mongolia, the Transport ministry, the Federal Railways Agency and the Russian Railways on the part of Russia, and the State Railway Administration, the Railway Corporation of China.
The economic corridor itself is to comprise 8 corridors, including railroad connecting Erdenet with Russian border, new railroads in western and eastern regions of Mongolia, eastern railroads to go out to the Far Eastern ports of Russia through China, and railroad network connecting Moscow and Beijing through Mongolia.
The side projects of the economic corridor will be an impetus to the transit transport development in Mongolia. If the amount of freight carried through transit transport reaches 80-90 mln tons, we would have got another Oyu Tolgoi, said Mr Yo.Manlaibayar, the adviser to the Minister of Road and Transport of Mongolia.
The documents, adopted at this consultative meeting will be signed during the meeting of Ministers of Road and Transport of Mongolia, Russia and China, to be held in Ulaanbaatar on October 20.
