Mongolia Records 24 Moderate Earthquakes in First Half of 2025 www.montsame.mn

A total of 24 earthquakes with magnitudes ranging between 3.5 and 5.1 were recorded across Mongolia and its border regions from January 1 to June 1, 2025, according to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). The recorded seismic events show an 11 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
Director of the NEMA Operations Management Department Colonel A. Dashnyam noted, " A 4.5-magnitude earthquake on July 2 in Bogd soum of Uvurkhangai aimag was felt by local residents. Additionally, a 5.0-magnitude earthquake registered on July 3 in Delgertsogt soum, Dundgobi aimag, was felt not only in the epicentral area but also in nearby soums—Saintsagaan, Adaatsag, and Deren—as well as in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar. Fortunately, no damages or injuries were reported."
Earthquakes in the 3.5 to 5.1 magnitude range usually do not cause structural damage; they are often felt indoors and can disturb unsecured items. Earthquakes above 5.0 magnitude, though still moderate, can cause more noticeable shaking, potentially affecting weak structures and causing concern among residents.

Emperor meets reporters ahead of visit to Mongolia www.3.nhk.or.jp

Japan's Emperor Naruhito has expressed resolve to promote friendly relations with Mongolia and mourn Japanese people who died after being detained there following World War Two.
The Emperor and Empress Masako are to make an official visit to the East Asian country for eight days from Sunday.
They are scheduled to take part in a welcome ceremony as state guests.
Meeting reporters on Wednesday, the Emperor looked back on his previous visit to Mongolia in 2007, when he was Crown Prince.
He expressed hope that the upcoming trip will serve as an opportunity to reflect on the history of exchange between Japan and Mongolia.
He added that the Empress also wishes to reflect on this shared history and prays that friendship and exchange between the two nations will further deepen.
He said she is looking forward to experiencing firsthand the vast wilderness of Mongolia, its history and culture, while interacting with people in the country.
The Emperor also mentioned the roughly 14,000 Japanese captured by the former Soviet Union and sent to Mongolia in the aftermath of World War Two. Of them, some 1,700 died from hard labor and other causes.
He noted the internees worked as laborers and participated in construction projects, which included the Government Palace and the state opera and ballet theater.
He said he has been told that they won the respect of the Mongolian people for their dedication, despite working in harsh conditions.
The Emperor said he hopes to reflect on such history through the visit when he and the Empress offer flowers at a monument for the Japanese people who lost their lives during their internment.
He said he wants to pay tribute to the people who died far from their homeland and think about the hardships they endured.

Wood advances rare earth elements project in Mongolia www.miningweekly.com

Global consulting and engineering firm Wood has been selected by the Mongolian National Rare Earth Corporation (MNREC) to deliver a definitive feasibility study for its Khalzan Buregtei rare earth elements (REE) project, in Mongolia.
Following the successful completion of a prefeasibility study in 2024, Wood will now lead the next phase, covering the project concentrator and refinery process plants.
It will be the lead consultant for the delivery of the overall feasibility study on MNREC’s behalf.
Wood points out that the Khalzan Buregtei deposit is poised to become one of the world’s few active sources of heavy REEs, including dysprosium – critical for high-tech manufacturing and green energy technologies.
As global demand for these materials grows, it says the project represents a vital step toward securing sustainable supply chains.
“Rare earth elements are critical to sustaining modern technology and enabling the energy transition. Delivering the Khalzan Buregtei project will significantly contribute to global supplies of these critical materials.
“Mongolia has the potential to become a hub for mineral activity in the coming decades. This newest contract underpins Wood’s strategic growth in Mongolia and our commitment to developing its local workforce and economy,” says Wood minerals and metals senior VP Alan Langridge.
“Wood has been instrumental in assessing the economic and technical viability of Khalzan Buregtei thus far, focusing on resource evaluation, potential processing technologies and environmental impact. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationship as we enter the next phase of this groundbreaking project,” adds MNREC CEO Tsolmon Adiya.

Miat launches Shanghai-Ulan Bator flights www.global.chinadaily.com.cn

A direct route linking China's economic hub Shanghai and Ulan Bator, capital of Mongolia, will be launched by Miat Mongolian Airlines on July 3, which is expected to enhance travel convenience and strengthen economic and trade ties between the two neighboring countries.
"The direct flight between Shanghai and Ulan Bator is a new achievement in our aviation sector, which will effectively promote tourism, trade and economic cooperation between China and Mongolia," said Bold Dorjderem, Mongolian consul general in Shanghai, during an exclusive interview with China Daily on the sideline of a celebration ceremony for the new flight on Monday.
"The decision to launch the flight connecting Ulan Bator and China's business center Shanghai is expected to attract more business and investors to Mongolia from Shanghai as well as the Yangtze River Delta region as a whole," said Bold.
According to the carrier, the new route will offer passengers more seamless connections through Shanghai.
"The introduction of the new route is projected to bring between 20 percent and 30 percent more passenger flow for the carrier's operations in China, and this would consolidate China's position as the country with the largest amount of flight connections outside Mongolia for Miat," said Badral Erdenebaatar, general manager of Miat Mongolian Airlines in China.
Badral said the Shanghai-Ulan Bator route marks the fifth direct flight inaugurated by Miat in China after Beijing, Hohhot, Guangzhou and Hong Kong.
"In fact, we also have plans to launch flights to Ereenhot of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region later this year, as well as to further raise flight frequency of the Shanghai-Ulan Bator service next year," Badral said, adding that the carrier looks to attracting more transfer passengers from China with its shorter flight time and lower cost than direct flights.
Bold said that throughout 2024, 1 million passenger trips were made from Mongolia to China, while 300,000 passenger trips were made in the opposite direction, with travel demand still growing between the two countries.
The official website of the Ministry of Commerce said that in 2024, bilateral trade volume between China and Mongolia grew 8.5 percent to $19.05 billion year-on-year, accounting for 69.5 percent of Mongolia's total foreign trade during the period.
The Shanghai-Ulan Bator route departs from Shanghai Pudong International Airport and arrives at Ulan Bator's Chinggis Khaan International Airport every Thursday and Sunday (local time). The one-way flight time is about 3 hours and 50 minutes with Boeing 737 jets being used.
Based in Ulan Bator, Miat was established in 1956, and provides scheduled international service to 14 overseas and eight domestic destinations.

OECD Upgrades Country Risk Classification of Mongolia www.montsame.mn

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has upgraded the country risk classification of Mongolia by one level from its previous highest risk rating of 7/7 to 6/7 as of June 27, 2025.
The decision was made at the OECD’s meeting to revise and reassess the country risk classification held on May 27, 2025. Out of 40 countries whose credit risk assessments were reviewed, the ratings of only three countries changed. Namely, the ratings of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh and the Republic of Senegal were downgraded, while the rating of Mongolia was upgraded. This improves Mongolia’s reputation and creditworthiness in the international financial market, creating favorable conditions for the Government and the private sector to attract foreign investment and financing, while reducing relevant costs. Moreover, funding fees, particularly credit risk fees from export credit agencies and international financial organizations based in member countries of the OECD, will become more favorable. Specifically, fees will decrease by 3-6 percent, and costs of long-term export financing will also decrease.
An upgrade in country risk classification will alleviate the financial burden on the national budget and the private sector, expand the private sector’s opportunities to attract foreign investment and strengthen investor's confidence in Mongolia, while enhancing the competitive edge of producers and exporters in the global market.
