On February 10, the working group in charge of accelerating construction works at Khushig Valley held a regular meeting. Led by the Deputy Prime Minister, the working group was put in charge of the works in the framework of the Government’s policy on decentralizing Ulaanbaatar city, diversifying the economy, and developing a new region for industry and trade, science and technology, bank and finances, university and college complexes, and tourism as well as transport and logistics.

During the meeting, Minister of Construction and Urban Development B.Munkhbaatar introduced plans for resolving issues relating to autoroads, infrastructure, electricity and heating, water supply, flood protection, and waste management in connection with the task given by the Prime Minister to launch construction works at Khushig Valley from April 1.

Deputy Prime Minister S.Amarsaikhan said, “It is necessary to draft an even more detailed plan for the construction works to be carried out in Khushig Valley and ensure its implementation. The participation of domestic and foreign organizations that have prior experience in the development of urban areas and free zones is also important. By making estimates about future demands, plans for transportation such as railroads and LRT should have correlation with the projects.” He then tasked the Minister to include the construction projects for large-scale healthcare facilities such as the National Center for Communicable Diseases and the National Cancer Center in the general plan for Khushig Valley by having the blueprints developed on par with international standards.
