2016年CRI Li Keqiang meets Mongolian counterpart

 

Thursday's meeting mainly focused on China's Belt and Road Initiative, Mongolia's Steppe Road program, and a feasibility study on a free trade pact¹.

Both sides agreed to advance cooperation in such fields as agriculture, livestock² farming, energy, minerals and infrastructure³.

Following the talks, Jargaltulga Erdenebat and Li witnessed the signing of 15 cooperation agreements ranging from trade, technology to radio and TV broadcasting.

Li Keqiang said development is a common topic for both.

"We agreed China and Mongolia should work together to address common development, step up the efforts to dovetail China-proposed Belt and Road initiative with Mongolia's Steppe Road program and strengthen cooperation in some key industries such as the livestock sector⁴, which can not only benefit Mongolia's farms, but also meet the rising demand for related products in China. "

The Chinese premier⁵ also suggested the two sides strengthen financial cooperation, expand the scale of currency-swaps, and enhance people-to-people exchanges.

Sharing a 4,700-km-long borderline, China and Mongolia have witnessed warmer relations in recent years along with closer economic links and political trust.

China has for years been Mongolia's largest trading partner and largest source of foreign investment. The two-way trade has expanded 50 times over the past two decades.

For his part, Erdenebat welcomed more investment from Chinese firms, adding that Mongolia is positive with starting the feasibility study of a free trade pact.

He highly spoke⁶ of the latest outcomes regarding bilateral⁷ cooperation.

"The two countries reached important consensus⁸ on cooperation in such fields as trade, infrastructure, energy, finance, investment and agriculture. The over a dozen cooperation documents singed⁹ at the end of the talks will improve cooperation efficiency, benefit the two peoples and add a new driving force for the development of the bilateral relations."

As part of the meeting, the two sides talked about the Asia-Europe Meeting Summit scheduled for Friday and Saturday in Ulan Bator.

Li Keqiang called for joint¹⁰ efforts to deal with the challenges posed by weak economic growth, the refugee crisis and the spread of terrorism.

"In our opinion, it's still necessary to add momentum¹¹ to the economic growth and boost confidence. The Brexit has caused fluctuation¹² to the global financial market. Looking ahead, from the stabilization¹³ of the market to regional stability to world peace, all of them need the countries in the Eurasia continent to join hands."

The two leaders also attended the launching ceremony of a facility project dedicated¹⁴ to help Mongolian disabled children, which is donated and built by the Chinese side.

For CRI, this is Liu Mohan.
