/MONTSAME/. First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and

Expo” held in Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the

Prime Minister, Uchral Nyam-Osor, met with Cai Dafeng, Vice Chairman of the
Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China, to reaffirm the

As the Head of the government-established
working group on increasing exports, First Deputy PM Uchral Nyam-Osor highlighted
the launch of policy reforms aimed at creating a favorable legal environment to
enhance trade and proposed specific areas for bilateral cooperation. In
particular, attention should be given to incorporating the development of
cross-border connectivity, specifically the Shiveekhuren-Sekhee,
Bichigt-Zuunkhatavch, and Khangi-Mandal ports via rail, into China’s 15th
Five-Year Plan. Consideration should
also be given to advancing the development of the Zamyn-Uud and Ereen
Cooperation Zone, enhancing collaboration in the production of export-oriented
renewable energy, supporting private sector initiatives, promoting the export
of Mongolian goods, and ensuring the timely issuance of quarantine permits
during transit.
Cai Dafeng, Vice Chairman of the
Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China, highlighted the importance
of aligning China’s 15th Five-Year Plan with Mongolia’s long-term development strategies
to deepen bilateral cooperation. Vice Chairman Cai Dafeng expressed China’s
commitment to strengthening strategic and trade ties, increasing coal imports
from Mongolia, ensuring a stable investment environment, and leading
cross-border railway development under the framework of regional cooperation,
particularly through the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which serves as a primary
access point between the two countries.
The meeting focused on strengthening economic relations and enhancing bilateral cooperation in line with open-market principles, with an emphasis on increasing trade turnover.
