Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. The working group appointed by the Government has now been working at Zamiin-Uud for over a month.
While 100 transport vehicles used to enter through the border during the time the working group began to be established, the number of vehicles has increased to 170 as of today. As for the vehicles going from Zamiin-Uud to Erlian, around 140 vehicles cross the border checkpoint each day, which is close to the previously measured average of 150 vehicles prior to the pandemic.
Acting Head of Zamiin-Uud Customs said, “Freight is also being imported through the railway. On August 27, for example, 67 train cars were used to import them. Overall, the situation regarding the circulation of freight is improving at Zamiin-Uud. Coal trucks have also begun to transport cargo on their way back.”
As of currently, over 40 thousand tons of the 50 thousand tons of cargo that had been stuck at the Erlian checkpoint has been imported. The working group reports that the rest of the freight will be finished being imported in the near future.
