According to the Chinese diplomat, this project, aimed at improving the people’s welfare, is a symbol of friendship and another important testimony to the long-standing mutual support between China and Mongolia.
The head of the MID of China reminded that since the 1950s, Chinese workers have helped in the construction of more than 850 projects on the territory of Mongolia. China consistently supports Mongolia’s efforts to develop the economy and improve the living standards of the population, he added.

He pointed out that both sides always prioritize the well-being of people, ensuring tangible benefits from bilateral cooperation for the Mongolian people.
Van I stated that Sino-Mongolian relations have become a model of friendly coexistence, joint development, and common prosperity of neighboring states. He confirmed China’s adherence to the principles of friendship, sincerity, mutual benefit, and inclusiveness in diplomacy with bordering countries, and also promised to continue the traditional friendship and jointly write new chapters in the history of bilateral cooperation.
The Head of the Administration of the President of Mongolia, Altanuyag Uilstuguldur, speaking on behalf of the President of the country Uunaa Khuuralsu, stated that the sewage treatment plant is a landmark achievement of Mongolian-Chinese cooperation and brings real benefits to the Mongolian people.
