EU-Mongolia relations have progressed extremely positively in the past months, notably the establishment of the EU Delegation in Ulaanbaatar on 2 November 2017 and the aforementioned entry into force of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement.

In the meeting, both the EU and Mongolia re-affirmed the importance of further enhancing their relations by working on an action plan for implementing the PCA. They exchanged views on regional and global issues and discussed opportunities for strengthening cooperation on connectivity issues.

The EU and Mongolia discussed further steps in assisting the Mongolian authorities in devising the Public Finance Management Trust Fund with the World Bank and the possible budget support operation if the conditions are met. The discussions also focussed on concrete ways in which the EU can support Mongolia in complying with its commitments on taxation jurisdiction. Both the EU and Mongolia agreed to explore the feasibility of setting up a joint working group on development cooperation in the course of the year.

The second EU-Mongolia Human Rights Dialogue was held back-to-back with the Joint Committee. Both sides discussed issues related to enhancing cooperation in multilateral fora. Regarding the possibility of reintroducing death penalty, the EU expressed its principled position as opposed to death penalty in all circumstances.

As is the case for all human rights dialogues, the EU met with civil society representatives ahead of the Dialogue, which contributes to a regular engagement with such groups.

The Subcommittee on Trade and Investment, held ahead of the Joint Committee on 10 April by videoconference reviewed the state of trade and economic cooperation with a focus on the diversification of Mongolia's economy. Discussions also focussed on "GSP+" implementation, investment opportunities and cooperation on raw materials. The Joint Committee was briefed on the outcomes of the discussion.

The Mongolian Delegation was headed by Mr TSOGTBAATAR Damdin, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The European Union's delegation was headed by Mr Gunnar WIEGAND, Managing Director for Asia and the Pacific at the European External Action Service.

The EU and Mongolia agreed to hold their next Joint Committee meeting in 2019 in Ulaanbaatar.

Xi made the remarks when meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Xi said he is looking forward to President Putin's China visit in June and his attendance at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in the eastern Chinese coastal city of Qingdao.

He said he hopes to boost friendship with President Putin, jointly plan China-Russia ties in a new era, and discuss the future development of the SCO together with the leaders of other SCO member countries.

Calling a high-level bilateral relationship "precious wealth of both countries," Xi said the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination has maintained positive development momentum.

China and Russia need to continue to give play to the guiding role of high-level exchanges in the development of bilateral ties, fully implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, and synergize the Belt and Road Initiative and the Eurasia Economic Union, Xi said.

He also called on the two sides to enhance mutual support in international affairs, jointly uphold international law and universally recognized norms of international relations, and strengthen cooperation within the SCO, BRICS, G20 and other frameworks so as to build a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for humanity.

"I believe that with the efforts of both sides, China-Russia ties will make new achievements," said Xi.

Lavrov said President Putin looks forward to visiting China and attending the SCO Qingdao summit.

Russia has attached great importance to the comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination with China and stands ready to further strengthen bilateral cooperation, he said.

Both Russia and China respect international law and the UN Charter, said Lavrov, adding that his country agrees that the two nations need to further enhance coordination within multilateral frameworks.
