Mongolia is keen to attract Indian firms to help build rail connectivity in the country, said Mongolia’s Ambassador to India D.Ganbold.
India has some experience with building railway projects in other countries. Rail India Technical and Economic Services (RITES), a public sector enterprise set up in 1974, provides infrastructure study, rolling stock design, equipment design and a suite of engineering services to other countries.
Early talks with the Indian government are underway, said D.Ganbold, and the matter will be brought up during the next intergovernmental commission meetings that are expected this year.
Connectivity is at the forefront of the partnership between India and Mongolia. Both countries are discussing establishing regular direct flights in a bid to bring both sides closer economically. Two direct flights per month could commence as soon as this year.
