Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. Beginning from March 4, heavy trucks loading
coal started crossing the border through Zamyn-Uud border checkpoint after
being fully decontaminated. So far, 1500 tons of coal have been exported. Since March 1, a total of 25 thousand tons of
coal has been exported by railway, reported the Mongolian Customs General
Administration.
At the meeting of State Emergency Commission held last week,
it decided to resume the export of coal and crude oil from March 15, but it was considered unnecessary to delay
until March 15 and gave a directive to commence the coal export earlier if the
preparations are done well.
In the first two months of this year, 392
thousand tons of coal were exported through Zamyn-Uud checkpoint.
