Mongolia’s population stands at 3.45 million at the end of 2022 www.news.mn

According to B.Batmunkh, Chairman of the National Statistics Office, Mongolia’s population growth has been slowing down since 2020.
The population of the country had grown by an average annual rate of 2.2 percent from 2010 to 2020. However, the average annual growth rate has decreased to 1.5 percent since 2020, due to the slowdown is mainly related to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic difficulties.
On average, 200 to 240 children are born each day, while over 40 people die.
Mongolia’s population stood at 3.45 million at the end of 2022. Back in January 2015, Mongolia’s population hit 3 million.

Signing of Record of Discussions on Technical Cooperation Project with Mongolia: Project for strengthening the self-reliance support system by focusing on the creation of job opportunities for people in need www.jica.go.jp

On December 28, 2022 the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a Record of Discussions with the Government of Mongolia in Ulaanbaatar for a technical cooperation project, “Project to Strengthen Self-Reliance Support System Focusing on Creation of Job Opportunities for People in Need”.
In Mongolia, the development of mineral resources in the early 2010s led to rapid economic growth, but such growth has remained sluggish ever since. While the country’s poverty rate temporarily decreased from 38.8% in 2010 to 21.6% in 2014, the subsequent economic slump caused the rate to rise again to 29.6% in 2016 and to remain high, recorded as 27.8% in 2020.
In response to this economic stagnation, the Mongolian government has initiated policies to reduce the amount of social welfare expenditure as a percentage of public finances. As a part of this initiative, and in order to promote the policy “Social Assistance to Employment”, the government has tightened the conditions for receiving cash payments for the poor, such as requiring registration with a vocational training mediation agency. However, households and individuals in need who rely on social welfare services for their livelihoods are not immediately able to find jobs even after registering with a vocational training agency. In addition, the system for connecting such people to employment is not fully in place. Under these circumstances, and with the amendment of the Social Welfare Law and the Employment Promotion Law in 2022, the Mongolian government aims to improve the employment support system for households and individuals in need.
This project will support the improvement of employment-readiness support services for households and individuals in need in Mongolia and is expected to lead to the self-reliance and social participation of the population that is dependent on social welfare services. It also aims to realize an inclusive society and to contribute to SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) Goal 1 (No poverty) and 8 (Decent work and economic growth).

Russian electricity exports to Asia growing – minister www.rt.com

Russia’s electricity supplies to China and Mongolia will see an overall 20% jump by the end of this year, Energy Minister Nikolay Shulginov has said.
Estimates by the Russian energy giant Inter RAO suggest that the country has supplied a record 4.4-4.5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electrical power to China in 2022. Data shows that China’s electricity consumption had risen in December due to colder weather. This has also pushed demand for coal and gas for heating higher.
“This year [2022] we can talk about the growth of eastbound [electricity] exports, that is, total exports to China and Mongolia have increased by 20%, and there will be an uptick of about 16% to China by the end of the year,” Shulginov revealed last week in an interview with the TV channel Rossiya-24.
Inter RAO’s data shows the volume of electricity supplies to China last year amounted to 3.97 billion kWh, which was 29.9% more than in 2020. Exports to Mongolia in 2021 rose to 0.49 billion kWh, up 55.9% in annual terms.
Inter RAO supplies electricity to China through three transmission lines that are capable of delivering up to 7 billion kilowatt-hours of electrical power per year.
In the past 30 years since it started buying electricity from Russia, China has imported over 30,000 GWh. The power is used in the three northeastern provinces of Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Jilin.

North China's Ganqmod Port sees growth in goods shipment in 2022 www.xinhuanet.com

The goods shipment volume via Ganqmod Port in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region exceeded 19 million metric tons in 2022, making it the highway port with the largest shipment volume between China and Mongolia.
This figure is 2.44 times that of 2021, according to the Ganqmod Port management committee in the city of Bayan Nur. Of the goods, imported coal exceeded 18 million tons, soaring nearly 160 percent year-on-year, while exported goods reached 257,700 tons, up more than 74 percent year-on-year.
In 2021, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, the shipment volume of the port decreased significantly. In 2022, Inner Mongolia implemented innovative measures -- including improving the business environment and intelligent customs clearance -- to promote the recovery of the shipment volume at the port.
Currently, the daily number of inbound and outbound cargo vehicles via the port has increased to more than 3,500 from just 400 in 2009, according to the management committee.
Ganqmod Port, a major energy import channel for the country, has become an important hub on the China-Mongolia-Russia economic corridor.

A new dataset for mongolian online handwritten recognition www.news.mn

A new traditional Mongolian word-level online handwriting dataset, MOLHW is introduced. The dataset consists of handwritten Mongolian words, including 164,631 samples written by 200 writers and covering 40,605 Mongolian common words. These words were selected from a large Mongolian corpus. The coordinate points of words were collected by volunteers, who wrote the corresponding words on the dedicated application for their mobile phones.
With the popularity of mobile phones and digital devices, more applications of handwriting recognition have emerged, such as the handwriting input method, signature recognition, and business card recognition. In the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, about 4 million people speak and write the traditional Mongolian language. However, owing to the lack of datasets, the development of Mongolian online handwriting recognition has been slow.
In Mongolian online handwriting recognition, to our knowledge, MRG-OHMW is the first publicly available database for online handwritten Mongolian. The main shortcoming of this dataset is that the vocabulary only covers 946 Mongolian words, which is too small for Mongolian, and the handwriting trajectories were collected by an Anoto pen on paper, making them different from trajectories written with fingers on a touch screen.
The MOLHW dataset is now freely available to researchers for various Mongolian online text-related applications, such as Mongolian online text recognition, handwritten text generation, writer identification and verification, and signature recognition. The main contributions of this paper can thus be summarized as follows.
The creation of an open vocabulary benchmarking dataset of a Mongolian online handwritten dataset, MOHLW, which includes 164,631 samples written by 200 writers and covers 40,605 common Mongolian words.
The development of tools, techniques, and procedures for Mongolian online text collection, verification, and transliteration.
The development of a proposed benchmark model for recognition of online Mongolian handwritten words using the encoder–decoder model.
A comparison of the performance of different models on this dataset.
Like English, traditional Mongolian is a phonetic script, with 35 letters. Unlike letters in the Latin alphabet, Mongolian letters have different shapes depending on the position and context in a word.

West sets traps to undermine Russia-Mongolia friendship - senior diplomat www.tass.com

The West takes efforts to undermine Mongolia’s friendship and cooperation with Russia but Moscow is confident that Mongolian partners have sufficient wisdom to avoid the traps set by opponents, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said in an interview with TASS published on Tuesday.
"We see that the West, called the ‘third neighbor’ in Mongolia, is taking concentrated efforts aimed at undermining Mongolia’s traditional friendship and cooperation with Russia. We are confident that Mongolian partners have sufficient wisdom to avoid the traps set by our opponents and ensure the sound and constructive development of ties with Russia that meets the vital interests of the peoples of both countries," the senior Russian diplomat pointed out.
The Russia-Mongolia political dialogue, including at the highest and high levels, has intensified considerably after both countries lifted mutual sanitary and epidemiological restrictions in early 2022, Rudenko said.
"Both countries continue building up interaction in the military and military-technical spheres," the high-ranking Russian diplomat went on to say.
"Mongolian servicemen traditionally took part in the Vostok 2022 command and staff drills, the International Army Games and other events on the territory of Russia. On August 1-10, 2022, the Selenga annual bilateral drills were held in western Mongolia. The efficiency of inter-agency coordination in the security sphere was consistently increased," he said.
The high-ranking Russian diplomat also pointed to the positively developing border and inter-regional cooperation, educational and humanitarian exchanges, adding that both countries were gradually restoring transport links.
