On June 15, Mongolian Prime Minister N.Uchral held official talks with Wang Yi, Member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China, at the State House. The high-level meeting focused on expanding the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two nations and serves as key preparation for an upcoming state visit to Mongolia by Chinese President Xi Jinping. Prime Minister Uchral noted the symbolic significance of the diplomatic gathering, which coincided with President Xi’s birthday.
During the talks, Prime Minister N.Uchral expressed his deep satisfaction with the successful development of Mongolia-China relations and emphasized that fostering good-neighborly ties and mutually beneficial cooperation with China remains a cornerstone priority of Mongolia's foreign policy. He reiterated Mongolia's steadfast commitment to the One China principle, stating that issues regarding Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Tibet are strictly China's internal affairs.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi conveyed the greetings of Chinese Premier Li Qiang, emphasizing that China and Mongolia are eternal neighbors connected by mountains and rivers. Wang stressed that Beijing will maintain continuity and stability in its policy toward Mongolia while strengthening political mutual trust. He affirmed China’s commitment to sharing the fruits of economic development in accordance with the principles of friendship, sincerity, mutual benefit, and inclusiveness.
A major focus of the dialogue was coordinating bilateral development strategies to accelerate common development and achieve the bilateral trade target of USD 20 billion previously agreed upon by the heads of state. N.Uchral introduced his Four Paths to Freedom: Four Liberations policy, which he originally proposed during his tenure as Speaker of the Parliament. Under this framework, Mongolia aims to diversify its trade structure, streamline border and customs quarantine inspections, and foster active cooperation between the private enterprises of both countries.
The Prime Minister further reported that the Mongolian government is aggressively pursuing policies to increase foreign investment. He highlighted several major strategic infrastructure and heavy industrial projects planned for implementation in Mongolia, including a steel production complex, a copper processing plant, aluminum production facilities, and expanded renewable energy generation. Noting that the economies of the two nations are highly complementary, Foreign Minister Wang Yi suggested that establishing a bilateral Free Zone and upgrading the throughput capacity of key border ports would provide the necessary momentum to reach these grander trade goals.
The two parties also discussed regional transport, logistics, and green development projects in detail. Prime Minister N.Uchral expressed the gratitude of the Mongolian government for China's swift assistance in providing vaccines during a recent outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Mongolia's western provinces. Additionally, he thanked the Chinese side for its consistent support ahead of the 17th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, which will convene in Ulaanbaatar this August.
