Minister of Road and Transport Development of Mongolia Delgersaikhan Borkhuu held a meeting with Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the European Union to Mongolia Ina Marčiulionytė, Programme Manager at the Delegation of the European Union to Mongolia Arnaud Appriou, and Head of European Investment Bank Representation to Mongolia and China Auvo Kaikkonen.
During the meeting, Minister of Road and Transport Development Delgersaikhan introduced two major infrastructure projects, the construction of a four-lane road on the Lun–Kharkhorin route, and the upgrade of the Zamyn-Uud–Khushig Valley vertical axis road into a four-lane road. The Minister expressed interest in investment and cooperation in these projects.  Mr. Delgersaikhan emphasized, “This route accounts for 78 percent of our country's transportation of imported goods. On average, 1,000 vehicles depart daily from Zamyn-Uud to Ereen and return carrying the same volume of goods. The Ministry of Road and Transport Development is aiming to allocate funding and invest in roads that are economically viable and most heavily trafficked. In other words, we are planning to expand our highways connecting our northern and southern neighboring countries into four-lane roads.”
Program Manager at the Delegation of the European Union to Mongolia Arnaud Appriou said, “Our mission includes an evaluation of the ‘Billion of Trees’ National Movement and related forest development projects. In this context, we have met with the Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia and relevant ministers to discuss the development of satellite cities. The European Investment Bank is placing increased emphasis on the transport sector, and thus we are engaging with your Ministry. Our team possesses extensive experience in the field of transport infrastructure, and we will assess whether the two proposed projects are eligible for financing in accordance with our criteria. If they meet our conditions, we are prepared to proceed with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding.”
The European Investment Bank will organize a forum for European organizations operating in Mongolia, the Russian Federation, and the People’s Republic of China in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, on October 13–14, 2025.
