RF, Mongolia presidents to discuss joint projects
MOSCOW, May 31 (Itar-Tass) -- Implementation of joint projects of
Russia and Mongolia, and first of all those in mining, will be on the
agenda of a meeting on Tuesday between Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev
and Mongolia's President Tsakhia Elbegdorj.
"They will exchange views on implementation of key projects in trade
and the economy," a source in the Kremlin's administration said. "The
leaders will discuss joint investment projects in mining, transport,
including those with involvement of Russia's Railroads Company."
"They will discuss further modernisation of a joint Ulan-Bator
Railroad Company, construction of new railroads in Mongolia, where RZD and
its affiliated companies will be involved."
The agenda will include formation of a joint company in research,
production and processing of Mongolian uranium ores in the context of
Russia's support in development of Mongolia's mining sector and
improvement of Russian-Mongolian joint ventures, where Rostechnologii
state-run corporation is a shareholder, the presidential administration
said.
Cooperation with Mongolia is developing positively. During 2010, the
bilateral trade grew by over 40 percent against 2009 to 1,015 million
dollars.
"In the first quarter of the current year, the trade turnover grew by
another 1.5 times against the similar period of the previous year to 328
million dollars, which make us hope this year's achievements will be at a
record level," the source said.
"The international discussions will be focused on the situation in the
Asia-Pacific Region, expansion of cooperation in the framework of the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and of other structures, necessity to
settle the inter-Korean relations by means of a dialogue, search of ways
to resume the sextet talks on the nuclear problem in the Korean
Peninsula," the source continued. "It is planned that the talks will
result in signing of several bilateral documents, including a
Russia-Mongolia Joint Statement."
Russia's presidential administration hopes that "the negotiations will
favour development of trustworthy bilateral political dialogue and will
give a new impetus to the active promotion of the Russian-Mongolian
mutually advantageous cooperation."
