Mongolia’s Deer stone added to UNESCO World Heritage List www.news.mn

The Deer Stone Monuments and Related Bronze Age Sites in Mongolia have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List at the extended 45th session of the World Heritage Committee.
Located in central Mongolia, on the slopes of the Khangai Ridge, there are deer stones dating from approximately 1200 to 600 BCE. These stones, which can reach heights of up to four meters, were utilized for ceremonial and funerary purposes. They are found both individually and in groups, often within complexes that include large burial mounds known as khirgisüürs and sacrificial altars. These deer stones are adorned with intricate engravings depicting stags and are of great significance as they are the most significant surviving structures associated with the culture of Eurasian Bronze Age nomads, a culture that evolved and gradually disappeared during the transition from the 2nd to the 1st millennium BCE.
Mongolia joined the World Heritage Convention in 1990. In addition to the Deer Stone, Mongolia has inscribed five World Heritage Sites, namely Uvs Nuur Basin (2003), Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape (2004), Petroglyphic Complexes of the Mongolian Altai (2011), Great Burkhan Khaldun Mountain and its surrounding sacred landscape (2015), and Landscapes of Dauria (2017).

Nepal smash T20 cricket records in Asian Games win over Mongolia www.aljazeera.com

Nepal became the first men’s team in the history of cricket to score more than 300 runs in a T20 international as they rewrote the record books against Mongolia at the Asian Games.
Nepal bludgeoned 314 for three in their 20 overs in Hangzhou on Wednesday, surpassing the previous highest of 278 for three by Afghanistan against Ireland in 2019.
Kushal Malla, batting at number three, led the way, cracking the fastest T20 international century – off just 34 balls.
He was followed by Dipendra Singh Airee, who finished the innings in ridiculous fashion against the hapless Mongolian bowlers, hitting eight sixes in an unbeaten 52 off just 10 balls.
He reached his 50 off nine balls, another world record, beating India’s Yuvraj Singh’s 2007 effort against England which took 12 balls.
Mongolia, whose women’s team were bowled out for just 15 last week in the Asian Games, were dismissed for only 41.
Magnificent Malla
When Malla came in to bat, Nepal were 42 for one in 4.5 overs. His 50-ball 137, along with Airee and Paudel’s fifties, saw them score 272 runs in 15 overs by the end of Nepal’s innings.
He smashed 12 sixes and eight fours at a strike rate of 274 and also became the second youngest batter to score a century in men’s T20Is at the age of 19 years and 206 days.
The previous record of the quickest T20 century was held by South Africa’s David Miller, who scored it in 35 balls against Bangladesh in 2017.
Nepal’s record-breaking spree
The match saw Nepal go on a record-breaking run against a hapless Mongolian side. Here’s a list of all the records that tumbled:
Highest score in men’s T20 internationals: 314-3
Fastest T20 international century: 34 balls
Fastest T20 international half-century: Nine balls
Most sixes in an innings: 26
Biggest winning margin by runs: 273
Highest strike rate in an innings of 10 balls or more: 520

China second globally in terms of nuclear power units in operation or under construction www.xinhuanet.com

China has the second largest number of nuclear power units in operation or under construction in the world, according to the China Nuclear Energy Association.
The Chinese mainland has 55 nuclear power units in operation with a combined installed capacity of 57 GW, and 24 units under construction with a total installed capacity of 27.8 GW, Wang Binghua, an official with the association, told a meeting in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, earlier this week.
The Chinese mainland has approved 21 new nuclear power units since 2021, said Wang, adding that six to eight nuclear power units are expected to be greenlighted annually within the forseeable future.
Nuclear power is expected to contribute about 10 percent of the power generation in the Chinese mainland by 2035 and the proportion is expected to rise to 18 percent by 2060, with a total generation capacity of 400 GW, as the country strives to meet its carbon neutrality goal, Wang said.

China's Inner Mongolia to Issue Special Refinancing Bonds to Ease Debt Pressures www.morningstar.com

China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region said Wednesday that it would issue special government bonds to ease debt pressures, as Beijing seeks to contain financial risks from mounting local government debt.
The region in northern China plans to issue special refinancing bonds worth 66.32 billion yuan ($9.07 billion) to pay back government debt owed to companies that were issued before 2018, according to government fillings.
The Wall Street Journal reported in June that Beijing was considering issuing roughly 1 trillion yuan, equivalent to about $140 billion, of special treasury bonds to help indebted local governments, citing people familiar with the discussions. The special bonds would be used to finance infrastructure projects and help local governments repay debt, the Journal reported.
Chinese media reported last week that regulators had approved the issuance of special refinancing bonds and 12 high-risk regions would get preferential bond quotas.
In a top decision-making meeting in July, China's leadership pledged to formulate measures to resolve risks from local government debt. Some provincial governments have submitted their own plans to Beijing, according to reports by Chinese state media.
Inner Mongolia's move to issue bonds also comes after Chinese Premier Li Qiang last week urged provincial authorities and state-owned enterprises to pay back money owed to private companies, underscoring Beijing's efforts to boost the country's ailing private economy. "We must make sure that debt owed is paid," Li said in a meeting.

Mongolia: Adverse winter weather forecast across western and west-central regions through at least Sept. 27 www.crisis24.garda.com

Heavy snowfall is forecast across parts of western and west-central Mongolia through at least Sept. 27. The Mongolian National Agency for Meteorology and Environment Monitoring (NAMEM) has warned of particularly heavy snowfall in Bayan-Olgii and Khovd provinces overnight Sept. 26-27 and in Zavkhan Province Sept. 27. Hazardous travel conditions are likely due to icy roads and reduced visibility caused by blowing snow.
As of Sept. 26, the NAMEM has issued the following warnings across the affected area Sept. 26-27:
Red heavy snowfall warnings (the highest level on a three-tier scale): Bayan-Olgii and Khovd provinces.
Orange heavy snowfall warnings: Zavkhan Province.
Yellow heavy snowfall warnings: Arkhangai, Bayankhongor, Govi-Altai, Khovsgol, and Uvs provinces.
Authorities will likely issue new alerts or update/rescind existing advisories as the weather conditions evolve in the coming days.
In addition to the wintry precipitation, strong wind gusts could lead to periods of blowing and drifting snow. Sporadic power outages are likely throughout the affected area.
The winter weather will likely cause ground and air transport disruptions across the affected area over the coming days. Traffic and commercial trucking delays are possible along regional highways. Difficult and potentially dangerous driving conditions are also likely on secondary and rural roadways in the affected provinces. Authorities could close stretches of highway if driving conditions become too hazardous. Flight delays and cancellations are possible due to strong winds and poor visibility at airports across the affected areas.
Advice
Monitor local media for updated weather information. Verify road conditions before driving in areas where heavy snowfall is forecast. Allow extra time to reach destinations in these areas and carry an emergency kit and warm clothes if driving is necessary, especially on secondary or rural routes that could become impassable. Plan accordingly for delivery delays if routing shipments by truck through the affected area. Confirm flights. Charge battery-powered devices in the case of prolonged electricity outages.

China, Mongolia, Russia Hold First High-Level Security Trilateral www.thediplomat.com

During Wang Yi’s visit to Moscow, China’s top diplomat held trilateral consultations with Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev and Mongolian National Security Council Secretary Enkhbayar Jadamba. (Wang is currently serving both as China’s foreign minister and as the head of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Foreign Affairs Office. The latter position is generally seen as equivalent to national security advisers in bilateral talks.)
Prior to the trilateral meeting on September 20, the various sides of the triangle – Russia and China, Mongolia and China, and Mongolia and Russia – held bilateral talks on security issues. This meticulous arrangement of consecutive talks underscores the high importance that China and Russia attach to security issues.
Prior to this, the last high-level security meeting between Mongolia and China was held in 2015. Meng Jianzhu, then a member of the CCP’s Politburo and secretary of the Central Political and Legal Commission, met with Ts. Enkhtuvshin, then secretary of the Mongolian National Security Council, and his delegation. At that time, Enkhtuvshin also visited Buddhist heritage sites in Lhasa, Tibet, and met with Wu Yingjie, then the executive deputy secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Region CCP Committee.
At the recent conference, Wang may have invited Enkhbayar, the secretary of the Mongolian National Security Council, to visit China at a later date to strengthen cooperation. Given the precedent noted above, a visit by Enkhbayar might also include stops in relevant regions such as Tibet or Xinjiang.
It should be emphasized that Mongolia is preparing to update its existing National Security Concept. According to the official website of the Mongolian President, over 60 percent of national security concepts need to be modified or revised. Enkhbayar has submitted the updated version to Mongolian President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, and a revised draft of the National Security Law has been formulated. However, the draft concept was not submitted to the National Great Khural in a timely manner, due to the uncertainty of the international environment in the surrounding areas of Mongolia.
Many of Mongolia’s neighbors and close partners – including Russia, China, North Korea, the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Kazakhstan – have all revised their corresponding security policy documents to reflect the new geopolitical environment. Mongolia will update relevant documents in the near future as well. That makes close consultations with Ulaanbaatar especially important for Russia and China at this formative time in Mongolia’s national security policymaking.
With the intensification of China-U.S. competition and extreme tension between Russia and Europe and the United States due to the entrenched Russia-Ukraine conflict, Mongolia, sandwiched between Russia and China, has to pay close attention to its security positioning. Senior officials from the Russian and Chinese governments have stated that Moscow and Beijing do not oppose Mongolia’s diplomatic relations with other countries and its “third neighbor” diplomacy, as long as these actions do not harm the common strategic interests of Mongolia, Russia, and China. But the situation has changed recently, though the shift is very subtle. Today, Russia and China intend to strengthen cooperation with Mongolia through mechanisms such as tripartite security consultations, which may be institutionalized in the future.
There are several reasons why Mongolia, Russia, and China are holding this security consultation at the current moment. First, there is talk that a deal for the Power of Siberia 2 natural gas pipeline will be finalized in October, when both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Mongolia’s Khurelsukh are expected to travel to Beijing for the third Belt and Road Forum. The pipeline would bring gas from Russia’s Far East to China, transiting Mongolia in the process. The joint project would necessitate close cooperation between the three neighboring countries, including in the security realm.
Second, China and Russia may hope to to head off the prospect of instability in Mongolia. Various protest activities in Mongolia have raised the specter of “color revolution,” a frequent bugbear for both China and Russia. Russia’s Patrushev in particular made a point of saying that his country would work with China and Mongolia to “jointly resist external interference” and “prevent color revolutions.”
Last winter, in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar, thousands of people took to the streets despite severe cold to protest against corruption and high inflation in the country’s coal industry. Mongolia’s anti-corruption agency announced in mid November that more than 30 coal industry officials were under investigation for corruption. So far, no clear explanation has been provided to the public regarding these corruption cases.
These developments caused dissatisfaction among the masses and raised speculation of interference from internal and external forces. This may affect the stability of Mongolian society, which would have a negative impact on ethnic minority areas near the borders of Russia and China.
Third, and closely related, China and Russia may be growing concerned about losing influence in Mongolia. In recent years, Mongolia has engaged in trilateral meetings with the United States and its allies. Japan, the U.S. and Mongolia, as well as South Korea, the U.S. and Mongolia, have had several meetings under these mechanisms.
In August, Mongolian Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai visited the United States and met with multiple high-level officials of the U.S. government, resulting in warm interaction between the two sides. Now the United Nations General Assembly is being held in New York, with the participation of the Mongolian president. It can be seen that the United States is the most active in wooing Mongolia, given its sensitive and crucial location between Russia and China.
Ulaanbaatar is also working hard to respond. After all, in Mongolia’s “third neighbor” strategy, the United States has always had the highest priority. In Ulaanbaatar’s view, only superpowers like the United States have the ability to overcome geopolitical constraints and help Mongolia hedge against the influence of China and Russia. Ulaanbaatar can also negotiate better with China and Russia using the Mongolia-U.S. relationship.
This has sparked a sensitive mindset between China and Russia, leading them to strengthen cooperation with Mongolia, including through this trilateral security consultation.
Mongolia has long been eager to maintain close economic cooperation, friendly exchanges, and political ties with China and Russia. Currently, there are many cooperation projects between China, Russia, and Mongolia. However, Mongolia has always maintained a distance from international organizations led by China and Russia. Mongolia has not joined the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) or become a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). This is part of Mongolia’s policy of balanced diplomacy or neutrality among major powers, without participating in any security organizations.
However, it may be difficult for Mongolia to continue to be ambiguous in its approach to mutual trust and relations among the three countries in the field of security. Both China and Russia are subtly pushing for Mongolia to move closer.
Last April, Zhang Ming, the secretary general of the SCO, visited Mongolia and clearly stated that the organization hopes that Mongolia will further participate in the grouping. This was a disguised invitation for Mongolia to join, something Ulaanbaatar has resisted thus far. At the 8th Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko also stated that Russia is willing to promote Mongolia’s formal accession to the SCO. It seems that Russia and China hope to accelerate Mongolia’s accession to the security organization.
Russia in particular has recently shown a relatively strong and frequent interest – some might say interference – in Mongolia’s foreign diplomatic efforts. Alexey Sambuevich Tsydenov, the current head of the Buryat Republic within the Russian Federation, and Sholban Kara-ool, the former head of the Tuva Republic of Russia and currently the deputy speaker of the Russian State Duma, are influential senior decision-makers from the Mongolian ethnic minority in Russia. Both have explicitly stated that Washington is planning a “Ukrainian-style” strategy for Mongolia that would fully align it against China and Russia. Given that Moscow used allegations of U.S. interference in Ukraine as pretext to stage an invasion, these claims are particularly alarming.
Even more interestingly, the Mongolian government and senior diplomats did not raise any objections against these comments, which undermined Mongolia’s sovereignty and diplomatic independence, nor did they issue any summons to Russian diplomats in Ulaanbaatar. Mongolia may have been trying to avoid any adverse effects on the recent trip of Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the Russian State Duma, to Ulaanbaatar, as well as the upcoming visit of the Mongolian prime minister to Russia and the tripartite meeting between Mongolia, China, and Russia, that is scheduled to take place in Beijing during the the Belt and Road Forum.
However, if Ulaanbaatar fails to take timely action to resist Russia’s actions or clarify the situation with the public, it may encourage Russia or others to resort to inappropriate language and behavior to attack Mongolia’s foreign policy and actions in the future.
Russia and China, within their respective spheres of influence, are strengthening cooperation, including with Mongolia, in the context of changes in the international environment. This has brought new diplomatic and security pressure to countries like Mongolia.

Elixir Energy’s Nomgon-10 pilot CBM well in Mongolia enters production www.proactiveinvestors.com.au

The Nomgon-10 pilot well of Elixir Energy Ltd (ASX:EXR) is now online at its Nomgon IX coal bed methane (CBM) project in the South Gobi Basin of Mongolia while the company has also declared a CBM discovery in the Yangir region and confirmed that its 2023 drilling program is nearly complete.
Pilot production well
The Nomgon-10 pilot production well has been successfully drilled, completed and brought into production with water flowing initially and gas due to follow.
Work is proceeding on time and on budget, taking just 19 days from spud to first water production.
Elixir is bringing the well into production slowly to minimise the risks of formation damage and shocks to the coal reservoir.
Nomgon-10 is an additional pilot well that will be connected to the Nomgon Pilot Production plant. The Nomgon-8 and 9 pilot wells remain suspended whilst the company monitors pressure communication between the wells.
Elixir managing director Neil Young said, “The drilling of the Nomgon-10 pilot well has gone to plan and we look forward to growing production of water – and then gas – from this well.
"Favourable results will put the Nomgon Pilot Project back on the intended pathway of determining commercialism."
Yangir CBM discovery
In the Yangir region, a successful drill stem test (DST) was performed on the Yangir West-2 well, with the results constituting a CBM gas discovery with the company having proved the presence of gas-saturated coal with adequate permeability.
Yangir core holes and chip holes have intersected coal thicknesses of up to 60 metres of coal, even though the full stratigraphic section is yet to be intersected. Elixir has measured gas contents of up to 10 cubic metres per tonne (on a raw basis) in the Yangir sub-basin.
Excelsior Energy — a technology and service provider to the mining and oil & gas industry — conducted the DST by undertaking considerable pre-planning with Elixir and around-the-clock well site and remote supervision to ensure a successful outcome.
At Big Slope, the Big Slope West-1 well has been successfully drilled. The well reached a total depth of 620 metres and intersected more than 27 metres of coal. The company’s four-rig program is now winding down, with one rig still drilling.
The remaining Erdene Drilling rig is drilling Yangir Far West-1 and is currently at a depth of 425 metres, which is still above the coal targets.
“Our other appraisal and exploration drilling in 2023 – completed safely and within budget — has added new discoveries in the key South West region of our PSC," Young said. "We expect in 2024 to focus on moving these discovered resources into reserves.”

Trucks testing new highway enter Mongolia www.chinadaily.com.cn

Nine trucks traversing a new highway linking China, Mongolia and Russia in the first test of the route entered Mongolia on Saturday after traveling 577 kilometers through China.
The Fourth Asian Highway, designed to consolidate regional social and economic cooperation, runs for 2,253 kilometers from Urumqi, in northwestern China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, to Novosibirsk in Siberia, Russia.
The trucks, dispatched by China, Russia and Mongolia, left Urumqi on Friday and are scheduled to reach Novosibirsk on Thursday.
Their 758-kilometer route through Mongolia runs through the provinces of Khovd and Bayan-Ulgii.
Enkhbat Ochirsuren, an official from Mongolia's Ministry of Road and Transport Development expressed his gratitude for the hard work of the truck drivers and border workers at a welcoming ceremony in Bulgan, Mongolia, on Saturday. Enkhbat said the highway was a crucial measure to accelerate the development of economic cooperation among the three countries.
The deputy director of transport services at China's Ministry of Transport, Xuan Dengdian, said the trial operation was a historic journey that would help provide a platform for communication and trade exchanges. No schedule for the official opening has been announced.
Vladimir Molchanov, the director of Russia's Motor Transport Agency, said the new route would add vigor to the already strong economic and trade ties in the Asia-Pacific region.
Li Menghan in Beijing and Lu Rui in Bulgan, Mongolia contributed to this story.
