The progress of the "Selbe Revival", Selbe Sub-Center Housing Project in Ulaanbaatar city, including land acquisition, construction of a reservoir, and flood protection structures is 78.2 percent complete.
Head of the Department of Geodesy, Water Construction and Structures of Ulaanbaatar City B. Byambasaikhan reported on the project during a Consultative Meeting of the Capital City's Management Staff.
The feasibility study, geodesy, topographic mapping, engineering and geological survey, detailed environmental impact assessment, detailed design work of roads and bridges, engineering and geological surveys of bridge structures, bicycle, and pedestrian paths for the "Selbe Revival" project have been completed.
To protect against flood risks and restore the flow of the Selbe River, a reservoir with a volume of 1.3 million cubic meters will be built in the middle part of the river, in some parts of Bayanzurkh and Sukhbaatar districts, where flood water accumulates more. The reservoir will cover 21.7 hectares of area, 2.5-4 meters deep, and construction is planned to begin this April.

Japan to provide radar system for Mongolian air force as security aid www.english.kyodonews.net

Japan will provide Mongolia's air force with an air traffic control radar system in its first provision of official security assistance to the strategically important, landlocked nation between China and Russia.
The project under the defense aid framework, which is intended to help Japan deepen security ties with like-minded nations, will cost 1.3 billion yen ($8.7 million) in total, according to the Japanese Foreign Ministry.
Japanese Ambassador to Mongolia Masaru Igawahara and Mongolian Defense Minister Sandag Byambatsogt signed documents regarding the radar provision earlier this month in Ulaanbaatar, the ministry said in a press release.
It will take a few years for the radar system to become operational, a ministry official said.
The move came after the two governments signed an agreement in December to enable the transfer of defense equipment and technology between them. The deal took effect the following month.
Mongolia, which is heavily dependent on China and Russia in terms of economic ties and energy, became the 16th country to strike such a deal with Japan.
The agreements outline procedures for exporting and importing defense goods to ensure controls over subsequent trade with third parties and uses beyond their original purpose.
The radar project will "strengthen the situational awareness and air traffic control capabilities" of the Mongolian military and "contribute to ensuring security and safe use of the airspace based on the rule of law" in Mongolia and the region, the ministry said.
Sharing fundamental values such as freedom, democracy and rule of law, Japan and Mongolia are cooperating in security and other areas under a "special strategic partnership for peace and prosperity," according to the ministry.
Tokyo launched the defense aid scheme in 2023 aimed at upholding peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and creating "a security environment desirable for Japan," amid concerns over China's intensifying military activities in the area.
Under the draft budget for fiscal 2025, the government would allocate 8.1 billion yen for the security assistance budget, although the recipients have yet to be determined. The figure is up more than 60 percent from 5 billion yen for the current fiscal 2024 through March

The Wolf Economy Awakens: Why Mongolia is Becoming Interesting for International Companies www.montsame.mn

The Board Journal, an international digital business magazine based in Frankfurt, Germany, published an article on Mongolia's developing economy on February 13, 2025.
“In the middle of East Asia, a country is striving for a strategic position in the global economy: Mongolia has rich mineral resources such as rare earths, which are important for the production of quantum chips. At the same time, the government is pushing ahead with major infrastructure projects in terms of renewable energies and transport, and is focusing on a “digital-first strategy”, export of high-quality consumer goods and tourism. This results in interesting business approaches for entrepreneurs and executives in the “Wolf Economy”.
In the endless steppe of the Gobi Desert, four motorcyclists race along a track, dragging a long cloud of dust behind them. Passing steep rock faces of the Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park, they reach Khongoryn Els, where huge sand dunes meet the Altai Mountains with the 4,000-meter-high Altai peak. The group’s destination is the “Ger Camp” – a small tent city. In the round, white-grey, house-high and fully equipped tents, the drivers find shelter for the night.
Experiential tourism generates visitor growth
“Experiencing Mongolia’s nature and traveling individually has attracted many international tourists over the past twenty years,” says Ganhuyag Chuluun Hutagt and shows a promotional video with impressive drone footage. The entrepreneur and former Vice-Minister of Finance points to a strong growth in visitors. In 2023, 593,000 tourists came to Mongolia. Between 2000 and 2019, the number of international visitors increased 13-fold. The fact that visa-free entry can be made from 61 countries has also contributed to this.
Cashmere and vodka as export hits
In addition to adventure tourism, Mongolia focuses on high-quality consumer goods. About 50% of the world’s cashmere wool is produced in the landlocked country and distributed worldwide. “Mongolia is also known globally for premium vodka of the Chinggis Khan brand,” says Gan, raising his glass. The basis for this is strong agriculture, which has a strong potential for international manufacturers of agricultural machinery and modern agricultural technologies.
Mineral resources are the backbone of the economy
The backbone of the Mongolian economy, however, is mining, which contributes around a quarter of the gross domestic product. Coal and copper (top 5 export country) are mined in particular, as well as zinc, iron, uranium, tungsten or fluorspar (top 4 export country). Gold production increased 26-fold within 20 years to 2022. “In addition, we can offer a strategically interesting alternative to China with rare earths such as cobalt or terbium,” Gan emphasizes. Because only a fraction of Mongolia’s territory has been explored so far, specialized companies find considerable business potential in this area.
Renewable energies and transport expanded
In order to become less dependent on energy and logistics from Russia, the Mongolian government is pushing ahead with major infrastructure projects. “We have about 300 days of sunshine per year. Mongolia therefore offers enormous opportunities for solar and wind power companies, especially for solar energy,” says Gan, pointing out that the total potential of renewable energies is estimated at 3,300 gigawatts. By 2030, the share of electricity from solar and wind is to be one third. In addition, the government wants to expand regional connections in the 1.5 million square kilometre country (3 times the size of France) through new roads and railway lines. This offers interesting starting points for construction companies from all over the world.
Digital transformation and young population
In addition, the Mongolian government is pushing ahead with the country’s digital transformation. More than 1,000 administrative services are to be bundled on a digital platform for citizens and companies. At the same time, work is being done to connect rural regions with fast internet through satellite networks such as Starlink. Together with cooperation partners from all over the world (including Google), the digital skills of the population and the economy are to be expanded.
For international companies investing in Mongolia, the population of around 3.5 million people, including more than 1.7 million people in the capital Ulaanbaatar alone, offers attractive potential: 2.1 million inhabitants are under 35 years of age, of which 1.26 million are under the age of 18 – interesting with regard to consumers and employees.
Returnees awaken the wolf economy
In light of the dynamic economic growth, Ganhuyag Chuluun Hutagt described Mongolia already years ago as the “wolf economy“. This term was later spread by the Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital, which referred to Mongolia as the “new Asian tiger” or “Mongolian wolf”. Author Johan Nylander has also taken up this term for his book “The Wolf Economy Awakens”, published in 2023, in which he describes the developments of the democratic system and economic prospects for Mongolia. He reports on innovators and entrepreneurs who have returned after years abroad, importing new impulses – and thus awaken Mongolia’s wolf economy.

Group C: Guam clinch No. 3 spot after tight match with China, leave Mongolia heartbroken www.fiba.basketball

China finished as the top team in Group C of the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Qualifiers after downing Guam, 86-78, at the Calvo Fieldhouse Sunday.
Far from their dominant form against Japan last Thursday, Team Dragon did just enough especially down the stretch to pull off the victory - a result that proved crucial for the bottom two in the pool that included the very team they just beat.
The Guamanians, despite the defeat, managed to clinch the third spot with a 1-5 record as they avoided losing by 24 or more against the traditional contenders.
Mongolia, who earlier yielded to Japan by way of an 89-79 result in Ulaanbaatar, needed the team of Coach EJ Calvo to lose by that many points in order to secure the said seeding and enter the Qualifying Tournament for Third-Place Teams.
But Guam were just too tough a nut to crack, so much so that they threatened to pull off an upset against the Chinese when they cut what was once a 16-point deficit to just seven, 83-76, behind a Takumi Simon triple from the corner with 1:03 to go.
Zhu Junlong, however, answered back with a trey of his own to push their lead back to a decade, 86-76, with 36.3 seconds left, all but sealing the result.
As tough as it was to lose on home soil again, Guam kept their heads up high as they're set to compete in the final qualification phase for the tournament proper.
Mongolia, on the other hand, may have to wait for another four years for a crack at the Asia Cup as they bowed out of contention with a record similar to that of Guam.
Yang Hansen top-scored for China with 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting and 9 rebounds. Zhao Rui finished with a 15-5-5 stat line, while Hu Jinqiu supplied 14 points as the charges of Coach Guo Shiqiang finished the Qualifiers with a 5-1 record.
Leading Guam's brave stand was veteran center Tai Wesley with a game-high 32 points and 8 rebounds as he made it hard for China's younger frontline.
Japan survive Blue Wolves scare
Finishing second in Group C, meanwhile, are Japan (5-1) after surviving the Blue Wolves at the UG Arena in easily one of the Qualifiers' most thrilling matches.
Ren Kanechika landed the biggest of blows down the stretch, hitting two three-pointers that changed the complexion of the game after the team caught itself staring at a one-point deficit, 78-79, with exactly four minutes left.
He nailed the first to give themselves the lead for good, 81-79, and then made another one shortly after Alex Kirk's split from the line for the dagger, 85-79, approaching the final two minutes that took the fight out of their foes.
A two-handed jam by Kirk and then a floater by Kai Toews proved to be the icing on the cake as the AKATSUKI JAPAN closed the game with 11 unanswered points.
Kirk top-scored in the triumph with an impressive double-double of 24 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field - he was 8-of-10 as well from the charity stripe - and 17 rebounds, together with 2 assists and 2 blocks to net an efficiency of 40.
Toews finished with 23 points, spiked by five treys, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists with 3 steals. Kanechika supplied 15 points on a quintet of threes as well, as both players submitted their best performances of the tourney in their campaign closer.
Three players also finished in double figures for the gallant Mongolia, with guard Margad Erdenetsetseg leading the way with 14 points on three treys.
Azbayar Antangerel made 13 points while Enkhbayasgalan Amarbayasgalan added 11, including four straight to give them the 79-78 lead that gave hope to a side that was looking to boost their bid of claiming the no. 3 spot in the group.
But then, Kanechika happened as Japan refused to give up, putting together a strong windup in another proof of why they're one of the favorites in the Asia Cup.
