Hunnu City Power Infrastructure Nears Completion www.montsame.mn

Plans are underway to establish key institutions in Hunnu City, including government offices, a free economic zone, universities, a student campus, and integrated transport and logistics facilities.
According to the Governor’s Office of the Capital City Ulaanbaatar, electrical and infrastructure works are progressing as part of this initiative. The “Hunnu” substation is designed to supply electricity to new developments and future buildings within the administrative zone of the city.
The project includes a 110kV overhead power line, a 2x40 MVA 110/35/10 kV “Hunnu” substation, a control building, three enclosed 10 kV distribution units (RP-1, RP-2, RP-3), and a 10kV transmission cable network. Construction and installation are being carried out by Da Khot LLC and Concept Capital Solutions LLC, with progress currently at 84 percent.
Under the long-term development strategy “Vision 2050,” Hunnu City is envisioned as Mongolia’s principal transport and logistics hub, strategically centered around Chinggis Khaan International Airport in the Khushig Valley. The city is also expected to evolve into a unified air passenger gateway for Northeast Asia.
Project initiators anticipate that Hunnu City will ease congestion in Ulaanbaatar and contribute to national economic growth by 10-15 percent. The development of the Bogd Khaan Railway, a free economic zone, and an integrated transport and logistics center will support this goal.
On June 5, 2024, the Parliament of Mongolia adopted the Law on the Legal Status of Hunnu City, officially designating it as a satellite city of Ulaanbaatar with strategic functions. The law establishes Hunnu City’s special administrative structure, economic framework, and governance model and mandates integrated development with Tuv aimag to generate shared economic benefits.

Mongolia Commissions 53 New Factories as Part of ‘Food Revolution’ Plan www.montsame.mn

President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa visited national manufacturing enterprises within the framework of the National Movement for “Food Supply and Security.”
President Khurelsukh’s first stop was at the “Agro Feed” plant of Tumen Shuvuut JSC. He was received by Chairman of the Board L. Erkhembayar and Chief Executive Officer J. Bold, who briefed him on the company’s equipment upgrades, new facilities, and operations.
With the help of a long-term concessional loan, Tumen Shuvuut JSC commissioned its "Tumen Shuvuut-2" plant last year and is currently building its next facility. The company plans to produce 170 million eggs this year and 250 million next year, which will meet 40 percent of domestic demand, reaching 50 percent by 2026 when operating at full capacity. Its Agro Feed plant produces poultry and livestock feed, supplying 25 poultry farms in 21 provinces. Production is expected to reach 40,000 tons this year and 55,000 tons next year.
The company purchased 38,000 tons of locally grown wheat, bran, and oats this year and plans to buy 53,000 tons in 2026. Its executives also introduced a project for breeding Dorper sheep, a meat-oriented livestock species. Established in 2004, Tumen Shuvuut JSC operates four subsidiary plants with over 360 employees, producing 17 types of packaged eggs, 10 types of animal feed, and organic fertilizer made from poultry manure. The company has more than 19,000 shareholders and distributed MNT 10 billion in dividends between 2019 and 2023.
Before 2020, Mongolia imported over half of its egg supply, while domestic producers operated with outdated equipment and facilities. Since the launch of the National Campaign for Food Supply and Security in 2022, the number of enterprises has increased, their capacity and equipment have improved, and production has grown accordingly. Within the next two years, over 30 domestic poultry farms are expected to raise a total of 3 million birds, producing an average of 650 million eggs per year, enabling Mongolia to meet 80 percent of domestic demand this year and achieve full self-sufficiency next year.
President Khurelsukh expressed appreciation to the national enterprises and wealth creators that have shown commitment and delivered tangible results under the campaign, which aims to ensure Mongolia’s self-sufficiency in 19 key food products. To date, over 3,000 enterprises have received MNT 1.2 trillion in long-term concessional loans under the Food Supply and Security National Movement.

Deputy Prime Minister S.Amarsaikhan dismissed for violating Accountability agreement www.gogo.mn

Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar announced at the Cabinet meeting that Deputy Prime Minister S.Amarsaikhan has been dismissed from office for violating the government’s Accountability agreement.
“The illegal activities of ill-intentioned actors seeking to seize state power for the sake of office, driven by vengeful motives and using unconstitutional means, have intensified. Unfortunately, some Ministers took part in this activity, urged others to sign, and pressured members. For these reasons I am announcing the dismissal of Deputy Prime Minister S.Amarsaikhan. Expressing positions and taking actions contrary to the Chamber is not consistent with the Accountability agreement. Therefore, I am announcing the decision made last night.”

State Emergency Commission orders readiness amid fuel-shortage risks www.gogo.mn

On October 28, the State Emergency Commission held a meeting to respond to complaints from rural and local residents about fuel shortages and to coordinate preparedness measures.
S.Amarsaikhan, Chief of the State Emergency Commission and Deputy Prime Minister, urged agencies to provide regular, transparent updates to the public about fuel availability across the capital, provinces and local gas stations, reporting where supplies are depleted and where deliveries are being made. He warned that, although the fuel shortage is expected to be resolved soon, secondary effects, such as higher hay-transport and interstate freight costs, could push up prices for imported goods and fodder.
“The State Emergency Commission instructed relevant organizations to prepare thoroughly for winter from June to August, to monitor supplies of fuel, gasoline, fodder and hay, and to visit affected provinces. However, some difficulties are beyond our control; the government, private sector and local authorities must work together to overcome them” he said.
S.Amarsaikhan stressed that keeping thermal power plants operating normally and maintaining renewable generation are essential to reduce winter hardship. He noted that peak winter electricity demand in the central region could reach 1,800 MW, creating a significant risk if not managed, and ordered agencies to develop step-by-step contingency plans.
The commission also instructed authorities to monitor herders moving to mountain pastures and to ensure the safety of their livestock as a severe winter is expected in western provinces. With about 1.1 million head of livestock already in the grass-fed area, and that number likely to rise, the commission ordered measures to secure uninterrupted supplies of food, feed and fuel for herders, to provide rapid assistance when roads are blocked, and to keep emergency, health and police services available without delay.
Provinces and soums emergency commissions were directed to operate 24 hours a day to respond promptly to any crisis.

Mongolia and Germany to Hold Negotiations on Development Cooperation www.montsame.mn

The Negotiations on Development Cooperation between the Government of Mongolia and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany are scheduled to take place in Ulaanbaatar on November 30, 2025.
The negotiations aim to review ongoing and prospective development projects and initiatives, and to establish a roadmap for future joint efforts. It serves as a platform to strengthen bilateral ties and enhance collaboration in key areas of mutual interest.
According to the Ministry of Economy and Development (MED) of Mongolia, a preparatory meeting was held on October 27, 2025, between the senior representatives of both governments. Discussions focused on exchanging information on government policy  and reforms.
The Mongolian delegation outlined its efforts to support private sector growth, improve the investment climate, and promote public-private partnerships.
The German delegation shared its perspectives on future cooperation and reviewed progress achieved under the existing framework with the Government of Mongolia.
Both sides exchanged views on the preparatory work for the negotiations, as well as achievements and prospects in key areas including sustainable economic development, higher education, biodiversity conservation, environmental protection, climate change mitigation, and energy transition.
Germany remains one of Mongolia’s leading development partners within the European Union, having extended concessional loans, technical assistance, and aid to support Mongolia’s sustainable economic, social, and environmental development.
At the previous round of negotiations held in 2023, Germany committed a record EUR 78 million in bilateral assistance. Additionally, through collaboration with the Global Fund, Mongolia joined the “Debt2Health” initiative, converting up to EUR 29 million of debt payments into grants. This enabled the implementation of health sector projects targeting infectious diseases and contributed to improving healthcare quality, marking a significant milestone in bilateral cooperation.
Germany was the first European country to establish a strategic partnership with Mongolia. Building on this foundation, the two countries agreed to deepen bilateral cooperation by strengthening the economic, investment, and business environment and by promoting increased trade and investment flows.
The intergovernmental negotiations are held biannually and will be co-chaired by Batkhuu Idesh, State Secretary of the Ministry of Economy and Development of Mongolia (MED), and Yiannis Neophytou, Head of Division at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Steppe fire destroys 800 hectares of land in eastern Mongolia www.xinhuanet.com

A steppe fire has devastated at least 800 hectares of land in the eastern Mongolian province of Sukhbaatar, according to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) on Tuesday.
The fire, which erupted in Erdenetsagaan Soum (administrative subdivision), was fully extinguished by Monday evening, the NEMA reported.
According to experts, most of the steppe fires are caused by human negligence, careless handling of fire and burning of grass in the autumn.
In this regard, the NEMA has warned residents not to make bonfires or throw cigarette butts on the ground in dry weather.
According to ecologists, Mongolia is one of the countries that is most vulnerable to a changing climate in East Asia. Due to its geographical location, natural disasters associated with global climate change are increasing year by year, including forest and steppe fires, as well as desertification, land degradation and dust storms.
According to the country's Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, only 7.9 percent of Mongolia's total territory is covered by forests, while around 77 percent has been affected by desertification and land degradation.

Mongolia’s Corruption Probe at Oyu Tolgoi Mining Operations Unfolds www.discoveryalert.com.au

Mongolia's mining sector faces unprecedented scrutiny as authorities launch comprehensive investigations into alleged corruption networks affecting major resource operations. The corruption probe at Oyu Tolgoi represents a pivotal moment for the country's mining governance, with law enforcement agencies uncovering evidence that suggests systematic misconduct within procurement departments of one of the world's most significant copper projects.
Key Details: Oyu Tolgoi Corruption Investigation
Investigation Aspect Current Status
Ownership Structure 66% Rio Tinto, 34% Mongolian Government
Investigation Focus Procurement-related activities
Law Enforcement Active cooperation with authorities
Financial Impact Under assessment pending investigation
Production Status 78% Q3 2025 increase maintained
The investigation highlights vulnerabilities in high-value contract environments where substantial financial transactions create opportunities for misconduct. Mining operations involving billions in investment typically require complex vendor relationships and approval processes that can become susceptible to corruption without proper oversight mechanisms.
How Mongolian Law Enforcement Uncovered the Alleged Network
Timeline of Enforcement Actions and Evidence Discovery
Mongolian authorities initiated their investigation following reports of irregularities within Oyu Tolgoi's procurement operations. The enforcement actions demonstrate the country's enhanced capacity to investigate complex financial misconduct in its mining sector, marking a significant evolution in regulatory oversight capabilities.
Furthermore, the investigation process revealed evidence suggesting coordination between multiple parties involved in vendor selection and contract approval mechanisms. Law enforcement agencies have documented patterns that indicate systematic attempts to influence procurement decisions, potentially affecting the integrity of supplier relationships across the operation.
Internal company protocols require all procurement activities to follow established guidelines for vendor evaluation and contract authorization. However, the alleged misconduct appears to have circumvented these established procedures, raising concerns about the effectiveness of existing compliance monitoring systems in preventing corruption within large-scale mining operations.
Procurement Integrity and Supply Chain Concerns
Supply chain integrity represents a critical vulnerability in mining operations due to the high value and complexity of equipment, services, and materials required. The corruption probe at Oyu Tolgoi focuses specifically on how vendor selection processes may have been compromised, potentially affecting operational costs and efficiency through inappropriate contractor relationships.
Mining operations typically involve sophisticated procurement networks encompassing everything from specialised equipment to construction services, creating multiple opportunities for misconduct if proper oversight mechanisms fail. In addition, the investigation examines whether established competitive bidding processes were followed and if contract terms reflected fair market values.
The focus on procurement activities highlights how corruption in mining operations often targets the highest-value transactions where small percentage manipulations can result in substantial financial gains for perpetrators.
This situation reflects broader industry evolution trends that emphasise enhanced governance standards across major resource projects worldwide.
Rio Tinto's Strategic Response to Corruption Allegations
Internal Investigation Framework and Compliance Enhancement
Rio Tinto has implemented comprehensive internal review processes following the emergence of corruption allegations. The company's response strategy emphasises cooperation with law enforcement while maintaining operational continuity at the Oyu Tolgoi facility, as reported by Australian Mining Review.
The mining giant's approach includes establishing independent review protocols for all procurement activities, ensuring that vendor selection and contract approval processes receive enhanced scrutiny. These measures aim to prevent similar issues while demonstrating corporate commitment to ethical business practices in international operations.
Zero-tolerance policies regarding corruption require immediate reporting of suspicious activities and comprehensive documentation of all procurement decisions. The company has declined detailed public commentary pending investigation outcomes, focusing instead on maintaining operational performance while addressing governance concerns.
Corporate Governance Evolution and Executive Accountability
Recent corporate governance restructuring at Rio Tinto includes board downsizing initiatives designed to enhance decision-making efficiency and accountability. The departure of board director Martina Merz reflects broader organisational changes aimed at improving oversight effectiveness across international operations.
Executive accountability measures under evaluation include enhanced reporting requirements for subsidiary operations and strengthened compliance monitoring systems. These initiatives respond to investor expectations for improved governance standards following various legal challenges the company has faced in recent years, as highlighted by Seeking Alpha.
