The ‘Railway and Youth People’, an International railway forum was held in Ulaanbaatar on 24 August. The forum is evidence of the developing cooperation in the rail transport sector between neighbours in the region. Young railway workers from Mongolia, Russia, China and South Korea participated in the forum.

The role of the railway sector has been increasing – this is largely a reflection of the rise in transportation services provided by JSC Ulaanbaatar Railways. The company has over 15,000 employees; 60 percent of them are under the age of 40.
