Mongolia has expressed a desire to join a project for construction of the Asian Super Grid, a project to establish an electrical power transmission network connecting China, South Korea, Russia, and Japan.

These plans were unveiled at a press office of Russian Networks (Rosseti) following a meeting between the head of the company, Oleg Budargin, and the general manager of the project office of the executive director of the Japanese Softbank, Shigeki Miwa.

“Oleg Budargin noted that in recent months, he met several times with representatives of the government of Mongolia, which had expressed a wish to join the project”, a report says.

The document states that Budargin and Miwa confirmed their interest in the continuation of consultations for the purpose of implementing a project for construction of the electricity grid.

Earlier, a Memorandum of understanding on construction of the Asian Super Grid was signed by Russia, Japan, China and Korea.
