Construction of new pathway for export kicks off www.montsame.mn

In the framework of the ‘New Revival Policy’, the construction of railway en route Zuunbayan - Khangi kicked off today on March 11. The railway connection is considered to be of high significance as it will create a new route for imports and exports.
In his remarks, Prime Minister of Mongolia L.Oyun-Erdene noted that underground mining operations recently commenced at Oyu Tolgoi, and highlighted that the construction project for the 226-km railroad connecting Zuunbayan and Khangi - the second large-scale project being implemented in the framework of the ‘New
Revival Policy - is kicking off today based on public-private partnership.
The railway construction work is planned to be completed in a half-year period.
While about 50 percent of core export products of Mongolia, such as copper and coking coal, are exported through the Gashuunsukhait border checkpoint, over 70 percent of consumer goods are imported through the Zamiin-Uud border checkpoint. As the Khangi border checkpoint is geographically located in the middle of Gashuunsukhait and Zamiin-Uud checkpoints, it is of great strategic importance, mentioned the Prime Minister.
By connecting the Khangi-Mandal checkpoint by rail, Mongolia’s capacity to import and export goods is expected to increase by a total of 20 million tons, with the amount of goods being transported by rail increasing by 65 percent.
He then continued on to say, “This month, the 416-km railroad connecting Tavantolgoi and Zuunbayan will be fully put into operation. In the framework of the ‘New Revival Policy’, the Government of Mongolia is ready to partner with investors and entities in a mutually beneficial way.”
The Government of Mongolia currently aims to start the construction work for connecting the border checkpoints of Bichigt, Shiveekhuren, and Artssuuri by rail as soon as possible, and create a 4,000-5,000 km long railway network in the country.

Roman Abramovich: Sanctions of Chelsea owner by UK government halt club's sale www.bbc.com

Roman Abramovich's attempt to sell Chelsea has been halted after the oligarch was sanctioned by the UK government as part of its response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian put the European champions up for sale after the threat of sanctions was raised in Parliament.
The freezing of Abramovich's assets, which include Chelsea, means the club cannot sell further match tickets.
The move is intended to stop Abramovich making money from Chelsea.
The government has issued a special licence that will allow fixtures to be fulfilled, staff to be paid and existing ticket-holders to attend matches.
Season-ticket holders can still attend games for which they have tickets but the club cannot now sell any more tickets.
The club's merchandise shop will also be shut.
The government is open to considering a further addition to the special licence which will allow the sale of the club.
A condition for that to happen would be that Abramovich receives no funds.
He has previously said that proceeds of the sale would be donated to victims of war.
Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has said the government is "committed to protecting" the club.
"Football clubs are cultural assets and the bedrock of our communities," she tweeted.
"I know this brings some uncertainty, but the government will work with the league and clubs to keep football being played while ensuring sanctions hit those intended.
"Our priority is to hold those who have enabled the Putin regime to account."

Citizens to be involved in comprehensive diagnosis from May 1 www.montsame.mn

On March 8, Prime Minister of Mongolia L.Oyun-Erdene and Minister of Health S.Enkhbold worked at the National Maternal and Child Health Center and the center’s branch in Yarmag area.
During the working visit, the Prime Minister became acquainted with the center’s online registrations as well as its surgical department, delivery and postpartum department, and radiology department. Despite the construction of the hospital launching in 2009, it was put into operation later in 2021 due to financing issues. Alongside offering healthcare assistance and services for mothers and newborns, the medical facility also provided treatment for COVID-19 patients by setting up 1,000 hospital beds.
Currently, there are over 380 doctors and medical specialists working at the hospital. As a result of the special attention put on its operations during the peak of the pandemic, it has officially become the second state-owned hospital to provide healthcare services to mothers and newborns nationwide.
Nine operating rooms equipped with modern equipment have been recently opened. However, due to its distance from the city center, there are certain pressing issues concerning workforce such as lack of accommodation and insufficient kindergartens nearby. In response, the Prime Minister pledged to resolve the issues.
Highlighting how all of the doctors and hospital staff in the healthcare sector played a crucial role in overcoming the pandemic with minimal loss, Prime Minister L.Oyun-Erdene then thanked the hospital staff and wished success.
With investment from the state budget, all beds used for delivery and postpartum have been renewed nationwide. For instance, 100 percent of the 496 beds used at the National Maternal and Child Health Center have been replaced with new beds. Furthermore, MNT 45 billion in financing have been allocated for works such as constructing extension buildings for two polyclinics of the center as well as renovating all buildings that have yet to undergo repairs since 1987.
By upgrading the medical devices and equipment, it has now become possible for the center to provide four types of surgeries and treatment that have been previously unavailable in Mongolia. The delivery rooms are planned to be renovated by the end of this year.
Noting that the Government will be making an investment of a total of MNT 110 billion for the country’s maternal and child healthcare, Prime Minister L.Oyun-Erdene said that special attention would be paid to renovating maternity hospitals nationwide, digitizing their operations, and bringing the hospitals up to global standards. As works to involve all Mongolian citizens in comprehensive diagnosis will be launched nationwide from May 1, he then tasked the sector’s authorities to ensure preparations.

China to boost stakes in Russian companies – media www.rt.com

China is considering acquiring or increasing investments in Russian energy and natural resource companies, Bloomberg reported on Monday, citing sources.
According to the publication, Chinese investors are specifically interested in Russian state energy giant and major gas exporter Gazprom and aluminum producer Rusal.
The Russian authorities are reportedly in talks with state-owned Chinese companies such as China National Petroleum Corp., China Petrochemical Corp., Aluminum Corp. of China, and China Minmetals Corp. regarding investment opportunities in Russian assets, the sources said.
Negotiations are currently in the early stages, but talks have already begun between Chinese and Russian energy companies, they added.
Meanwhile, a number of Western nations have imposed sanctions on Russia over the past two weeks amid its ongoing military operation in Ukraine. In the most recent development, Washington on Wednesday placed a ban on Russian oil and gas imports to the US.
Many foreign companies have been severing ties with Russian producers amid sanctions. Energy majors BP, Shell, Equinor, OMV, and Exxon Mobil announced over the past few days they would be suspending operations in Russia and scrapping contracts with Russian firms. On Tuesday, US planemaker Boeing said it would stop buying Russian titanium used for aircraft production.

CERAWEEK Rio Tinto working to ensure access to Russian fuel for Mongolia project -exec www.reuters.com

HOUSTON, March 9 (Reuters) - Rio Tinto Ltd (RIO.L)(RIO.AX) is working to maintain steady supplies of fuel and other goods for its Mongolian copper operations from suppliers that buy from Russia and elsewhere, a top executive at the mining giant said on Wednesday.
The Anglo-Australian company is developing Mongolia's Oyu Tolgoi, one of the world's largest known copper and gold deposits. Rio controls about two-third of the project, with Ulanbaatar controlling the rest.
While Rio has begin looking for alternative fuel sources for Oyu Tolgoi, the company does not believe it can stop buying from Russia altogether, Bold Baatar, head of Rio's copper business, said on the sidelines of the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston. Rio has supply agreements for a host of products with Mongolian suppliers, many of whom procure materials from Russia.
"The reality is, Mongolia has two very big powerful neighbors, so it's quite important for us to maintain healthy, peaceful, balanced relationships," Baatar said of his home country.
Mongolia is bordered on the north by Russia and on the south and east by China, leaving Rio few options to secure supplies for the project, which is set to be the world's third-largest copper mine.
Amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, multiple companies and countries have announced they will stop business in Russia and buying Russian products.
Baatar said it would be "very difficult" for Rio's Mongolian operations to stop all imports from Russia, adding that some supplies come through Russia via Kazakhstan.
"That kind of supply is fine unless the world wants to completely shut the Russian borders, which is not possible," he said.
Rio in January ended a long-running feud with Mongolia's government over control of Oyu Tolgoi. The deal marked a positive development for the company, which is facing major pushback for projects in Serbia, the United States and Guinea.
Baatar appeared on a copper panel at the conference alongside Richard Adkerson, chief executive of Freeport-McMoRan Inc (FCX.N) and Trafigura's (TRAFGF.UL) Julien Rolland.
Baatar told the panel that it was "pretty imperative" for the United States to develop more copper mines to supply copper needed for electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies. Rio is trying to develop the Resolution Copper project in Arizona, but has faced Native American opposition.
Mining companies "should respect the wishes of communities, and many communities don't want to see mining," Baatar said.
When asked what that meant for the Arizona project, Baatar said he believes an agreement can be reached with local Native Americans.
"I completely respect their views of the project and I'm really hopeful we can find a mutual, common solution," he said.
