At the invitation of Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mongolia Battsetseg Batmunkh, Member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi visited Mongolia from June 13 to 15.
Soon after his arrival in the capital Ulan Bator, Wang Yi met with Mongolian President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa.
Khurelsukh Ukhnaa said that he is deeply honoured to have built a profound friendship and mutual trust with President Xi Jinping, maintaining close communication and jointly steering the continuous development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries. The Mongolia-China relationship has become a model for inter-state relations in the region. The two sides have always understood and trusted each other, respected each other’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity while deepening mutually beneficial cooperation across various sectors, and the bilateral trade is expected to reach $20 billion this year. The vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity and the four major global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping have played a vital role in safeguarding world peace and stability, serving the interests of people around the globe. Mongolia actively supports these major concepts and initiatives put forward by President Xi and stands ready to strengthen cooperation with China in regional and international affairs to jointly implement them.
Wang Yi stated that China and Mongolia, linked by mountains and rivers and sharing a common future, are permanent neighbours and comprehensive strategic partners. China has always put China-Mongolia relations at an important place in its neighbourhood diplomacy, and it has both the will and the capability to be a neighbour that Mongolia can rely on, a trustworthy friend, and a partner in accelerating its development. China respects Mongolia’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the development path that Mongolia has chosen for itself. A close neighbour is better than a distant relative. China appreciates Mongolia’s decision to make developing ties with China the top priority of its foreign policy, which fully serves the fundamental interests of the Mongolian state and its people. China is willing to strengthen solidarity and coordination with Mongolia on multilateral platforms such as the trilateral cooperation among China, Russia and Mongolia and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. Together with other Global South countries, the two sides strive for self-strengthening through unity and promote the building of a more just and equitable global governance system.
Wang Yi met with Mongolian Prime Minister Nyam-Osor Uchral on June 15.
Nyam-Osor Uchral stated that Mongolia and China have consistently respected each other’s independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and chosen paths of development. Mongolia firmly adheres to the one-China principle. He expressed the hope that both sides would introduce additional measures to facilitate trade, diversify trade structures, strengthen connectivity through infrastructure projects such as ports and railways, and expand cooperation in the mining sector.
Wang Yi stated that good-neighbourly friendship, solidarity, cooperation, and working together to create a better future represent the only correct choice for both sides. China highly appreciates Mongolia’s commitment to prioritising relations with China in its foreign policy and its support for China’s legitimate positions on issues concerning its core interests. Having both celebrated their centenary anniversaries, the Communist Party of China and the Mongolian People’s Party could further enhance exchanges on governance and development experience, thereby contributing to national development, improving people’s livelihoods, and deepening the traditional friendship between the two countries.
Wang Yi added that development and national revitalisation are shared goals of both China and Mongolia, while stronger cooperation reflects the common aspirations of both peoples. The two economies are highly complementary with mutual needs, presenting vast space for cooperation. China is willing to strengthen the alignment of development strategies with Mongolia, jointly advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, and support Mongolia in making full use of three major engines for development, including bilateral cooperation mechanisms, China-Mongolia-Russia cooperation and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, in pursuing a modernisation path suited to its national conditions.
Wang Yi held talks with his Mongolian counterpart Foreign Minister Batmunkh Battsetseg on June 13.
Wang said that China has always upheld the principle that all countries, big or small, are equal. Guided by the Principle of Amity, Sincerity, Mutual Benefit and Inclusiveness in Neighbourhood Diplomacy, as well as the policy of forging friendship and partnership with its neighbours, China attaches high importance to ties with Mongolia in its neighbourhood diplomacy and actively promotes good-neighbourliness and friendly cooperation between the two countries. The China-Mongolia Treaty of Friendly Relations and Cooperation explicitly stipulates that both sides will adhere to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and not allow any third country to use its territory to undermine the sovereignty and security of the other. This serves as an important safeguard for the sound development of bilateral relations.
He added that as fellow developing countries, China and Mongolia share broad common interests and similar policy stances on international and regional affairs. China supports Mongolia in continuing to make positive contributions to regional peace and development and welcomes its efforts to gain more growth drivers through bilateral cooperation, the trilateral cooperation among China, Russia and Mongolia, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). In the face of rampant unilateralism and rising protectionism, China has consistently advocated and practiced multilateralism and supports the United Nations in playing a central and leading role in international affairs. China stands ready to work with all countries, including Mongolia, to promote the building of a more just and equitable global governance system.
Batmunkh Battsetseg said that Mongolia-China relations have reached a high level of comprehensive strategic partnership. Cooperation across various sectors is thriving, bringing tangible benefits to the peoples of both countries. The two sides have always respected and trusted each other, engaging in equal and mutually beneficial cooperation, making their relationship an exemplary model among neighbouring countries. On all issues concerning China’s core interests, the Mongolian side understands and supports China’s position.
Mongolia attaches great importance to China’s 15th Five-Year Plan and looks forward to strengthening the alignment of development strategies with China. Mongolia hopes to expand trade and investment, enhance connectivity, and deepen cooperation in areas such as critical minerals and ecological governance. Mongolia values multilateral mechanisms including the trilateral cooperation among China, Russia and Mongolia, the SCO, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, and it stands ready to play a greater role in regional peace, stability, and prosperity. Last month, during its rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council, China convened a high-level meeting and put forward important proposals on reinvigorating the UN and reforming and improving global governance. Mongolia highly commends these initiatives and looks forward to strengthening cooperation with China to jointly uphold multilateralism and safeguard the U.N.-centred international system.
The two foreign ministers also held a joint press conference.
Both sides stated that, in the face of a volatile international landscape and increasingly prominent global challenges, China and Mongolia should stand together through thick and thin, unite as one, and firmly remain good neighbours and partners built on mutual trust and support. The two sides should continue to work hand in hand towards building a China-Mongolia community with a shared future characterised by peaceful coexistence, mutual assistance, and win-win cooperation.
Wang Yi noted that good neighbours should visit each other frequently, and good partners should offer mutual assistance. The Chinese side supports Mongolia in developing its economy and improving people’s livelihoods and welcomes Mongolia to ride on the express train of China’s development. According to international institutions, every one-percentage-point increase in China’s economic growth contributes to a four percent increase in Mongolia’s exports and a 0.6 percent increase in Mongolia’s economic growth, which demonstrates the strong complementarity and close economic ties between the two countries. The second cross-border railway linking China and Mongolia is currently under construction and is expected to become another major corridor for connectivity between the two countries. China remains a trustworthy and reliable partner for Mongolia and will continue to extend support whenever Mongolia needs it most. To help Mongolia cope with the recent outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, the Chinese side has decided to urgently supply one million doses of vaccines to the Mongolian side. Furthermore, the China-aided shantytown renovation project in Mongolia has been completed and handed over. Positive progress has also been made in projects closely related to the Mongolian people’s well-being, such as the China-Mongolia Heads of State Sports Centre and the Erdeneburen hydropower plant. Wang Yi said that during this visit to Mongolia he would also have the opportunity to attend the completion ceremony of the Ulan Bator Wastewater Treatment Plant, which will help ensure safe water access for the citizens of Ulan Bator.
Modernisation, he added, is a shared objective for both China and Mongolia. The two sides will focus on the present while looking to the long term, promote the alignment of the Belt and Road Initiative with Mongolia’s Steppe Road development strategy, deepen exchanges on governance experience, explore opportunities for cooperation in emerging sectors, and jointly pursue modernisation paths suited to their respective national conditions.
Wang Yi added that both China and Mongolia are constructive forces for global peace, stability, and development. The two countries are willing to strengthen coordination in regional and international affairs and work together to safeguard the common interests of developing nations. China welcomes Mongolia’s active role in international and regional affairs and supports its hosting of the 17th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, to be held in August this year.
The two sides also agreed to uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, safeguard the victorious outcomes of World War II, oppose all forms of fascism and militarism, and reject any words or actions that seek to distort or reverse the course of history. In addition, both countries agreed to enhance coordination within multilateral frameworks such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) to jointly promote regional stability, development, and cooperation.
In a joint press communique both sides further reaffirmed that they will not join any military or political alliance directed against the other, will not conclude treaties with any third country that undermine the sovereignty and security of the other, and will not allow any third country to use their territory to harm the sovereignty and security of the other.
They agreed to strengthen alignment of their development strategies, advance projects under the frameworks of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and Mongolia’s Steppe Road Program, expand mutually beneficial cooperation in various sectors, and further enhance the scale, quality, and level of bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
China highly appreciated Mongolia’s role in hosting the Ulan Bator Dialogue on Northeast Asian Security in June.
The two sides agreed to oppose and condemn all forms of fascism and militarism, jointly safeguard world peace and security, and uphold international fairness and justice. They spoke highly of the achievements of trilateral cooperation among China, Mongolia, and Russia, expressing their firm belief that the implementation of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor plan plays an important role in promoting regional prosperity and stability.
The two sides also emphasised that the growing political and economic influence of multilateral mechanisms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), APEC, and BRICS has contributed significantly to advancing regional cooperation.
