The trilateral consultative meeting on the development of the economic rail corridor of Mongolia, Russia and China is taking place today (September 13) in Ulaanbaatar. An agreement on building the economic corridor was estblished by leaders of the three countries in Tashkent.
The authorities are holding meetings with representatives of the private companies, who wish to contribute their cooperation in building of the economic corridor. The Northern Railways, executing the construction of Erdenet-Ovoot railroad and a Russian company named “Sibur”, operating a gas fuel station at Zamyn-Uud – Erenhot border checkpoint, are attending this meeting.
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, informs Yo.Manlaibayar, the adviser to the Minister of Road and Transport Development.
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. In view of this, constructions of railroad connecting Erdenet and Ovoot, Bogdkhan Railroad to entwine Ulaanbaatar and Khoot-Bichigt railroad are included in the Government Action Plan for 2016-2020.
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 tons, we would have got another Oyu Tolgoi, remarked Mr Yo.Manlaibayar and added that “Mongolia is the shortest cut for China-Russia transportations”.
