Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. In accordance with the intergovernmental
agreement of Mongolia and China on the Regime of the Mongolian-Chinese Border
Crossings, the two countries agreed to have nine permanent operating auto road
crossings, namely Bayankhoshuu-Uvdug, Zamyn Uud-Erlian, Khangi-Mandal,
Gashuunsukhait-Gantsmod, Shiveekhuren-Sekhee, Burgastai- Laoemyao, Bulgan-Takashiken,
Bichigt-Zuunkhatavch, and Khavirga-Arkhashaat. Today, seven out of nine
crossings are operating normally.
As a result of working through diplomatic channels to
restore freight transportation at the Bichigt-Zuunkhatavch and Khavirga-Arkhashaat
road ports that were closed according to the proposal of the Chinese side due
to the pandemic, the operation of Bichigt-Zuunkhatavch port, which was closed
since August 22, 2021, was resumed and 200 vehicles stuck in China started
being taking from July 22 this year. In addition, coal trucks will start crossing
the state border, and an agreement has been reached with the Chinese side to further
increase oil and other necessary export-import transportation.
