After a period of diplomatic vacillation, Mongolia finally realized that it was wise to cooperate with China and Russia. Recently, Mongolia's Minister of Transport Development, Bimba Chogt, announced plans to build seven new dry ports to facilitate the development of ** between China and Russia. Mongolia has made clear its position as a strategic node on the shortest route connecting Asia and Europe, relying on the development of Sino-Russian relations.
After diplomatic interaction with France and the United States, Mongolia realized that cooperation with China and Russia was more reliable. Mongolia is planning to build seven new dry ports to expand the economic corridor with China and Russia. Although Mongolia has not yet announced a specific timeline and project, it has begun to seek funding for the construction and is in contact with the World Bank and relevant United Nations agencies. However, the United States and the West may not be satisfied with Mongolia's dry port plan, and the final investment will mainly come from China and Russia. A few days before Mongolia's official announcement of the dry port plan, Amarbay Sklen, general secretary of the Mongolian People's Party, led a delegation to visit China.
The background of Mongolia's choice to cooperate with China and Russia is multifaceted. On the one hand, as a landlocked country, Mongolia is located between China and Russia, and has a strategic position to connect Asia and Europe. This geographical location presents great opportunities for Mongolia, making it an important gateway. Mongolia realizes that it can develop its economy to the maximum extent only by relying on Sino-Russian relations. On the other hand, Mongolia's economic growth is largely dependent on mineral exports. According to the Asian Investment Bank, Mongolia's economic growth rate is expected to be 54%, and next year it is expected to reach 61%。This is based on the tremendous growth of China and Russia. Therefore, it can be said that the rapid growth of China and Russia will bring more dividends to Mongolia. For Mongolia, its positioning can be divided into two aspects, on the one hand, as a resource country, it has advantages in minerals;On the other hand, as a channel country, it will expand the first relationship with China and Russia through the construction of dry ports, and catch the express train of Sino-Russian development.
Mongolia's plan to build seven new dry ports is significant and will help boost exchanges with China and Russia. Most of these dry ports are located in the border areas with China and Russia. In particular, it is worth mentioning that the "Zamyn-Uud" and "Altan Prague" claimed by Mongolia are actually two key nodes of the Sino-Russian ** channel. This shows that Mongolia has a clear understanding of its strategic positioning.
Mongolia's plan to build seven new dry ports is not only aimed at expanding exchanges with China and Russia, but also has other positive effects. First of all, it will increase Mongolia's export capacity and further boost Mongolia's economic growth. Mongolia relied on the export of minerals to achieve 48% economic growth rate and $21.2 billion in total imports and exports. The new dry port will provide more convenience and access to Mongolia's exports, which is expected to further increase the economic growth rate. Secondly, Mongolia's planned dry port is located in the border area, which will promote the development and prosperity of the region. The new dry port will be an important economic engine for the region, driving job and investment growth. In addition, Mongolia's plans to build a new dry port show that Mongolia has recognized the strategic value of its geographical location and hopes to achieve its own development by strengthening cooperation with China and Russia.
Mongolia has a positive attitude towards cooperation with China and Russia and has taken a number of measures to strengthen relations between the two sides. In addition to the seven dry port plans, Mongolia has six road projects planned and plans to promote the "Eastern Railway Corridor" plan to connect Mongolia with seaports in eastern China, thereby enhancing Mongolia's export capacity.
