The Mongolia- Russia-China Border Railway Commission
meeting began in Ulaanbaatar on Monday. This annual conference has been held
since 1956 with the three countries playing host by turn. The Russian team was
led by the A.I. Chernikh, Chief of the Transportation Center of the Sibir
Railway, and the Chinese team by Ma Tsyan Fei, Deputy Chief of Chinese Railway
Transportation.
Briefing media, Chernikh said that they had exchanged views on how to improve services,
and reviewed implementation of the decisions reached at last year’s meeting in Khuhhot.
Freight and passenger train
transportation would be thoroughly discussed. 1.5 million tons of freight has passed
through Mongolia-Russia borders so far this year. The Russian Railway has been reformed
and the private sector is now very active.
D.Jigjidnyamaa of the Ulaanbaatar Railway added that the conference was
focusing on technical issues and also discussing revision of border crossing and
customs procedures. He said increased freight rates have had no effect on the volume
transported but the work load relating to freight transfer in Zamiin-Uud and
Ereen has to be eased.
