The  ‘Coal Mongolia’ international coal trade and investment conference opened at the conference hall of the Shangri La Hotel earlier today (4 September).

About 600 representatives from 15 countries are attending the conference which is being organised jointly with China’s coal market research company ‘Fenwei Energy Information Services’.

The organisers highlighted that the collaboration with China’s most reputable company promotes the growth of Chinese transport, logistics, trade companies and investors, who are interested in buying coal from Mongolia.

This year’s conference features the discussion of issues, including the development of competitiveness and improvement of exportability.

The “bests” of the coal industry will be announced at the banquet of the ‘Coal Mongolia-2018’ conference. Mining Minister D.Sumiyabazar and other officials will present awards to the companies.

Currently, Mongolian coal export capacity has reached about 50 million tonnes but actual export is around half of the full capacity.
