During the forum, Shurenchimeg Tsogtbayar, the General Director of the Great Tea Road Development Fund of Mongolia, emphasized the historical significance of the Silk and Tea Roads, which connected Asia with Europe and turned this region into a major transport, cultural, and historical hub of Eurasia. “Our ancestors worked together to develop these routes and strengthen cooperation,” she added.

According to Professor Xu Dehun from Xi'an International University, it is crucial for landlocked regions to develop land and air transport corridors to stimulate economic growth.

Xu also noted that the Trans-Baikal region has significant mineral resources, forest resources, and diverse agricultural products, and the presence of the Chita railway station and major transport hubs creates excellent conditions for establishing an international inland port.

The Governor of the Trans-Baikal region, Alexander Osipov, stated: “We have wonderful opportunities to form sustainable international transport corridors that are important not only for China, Russia, and Mongolia but for all of Eurasia.”

Bulat Amagabazarov, the director of the tourism company "Silver Ring," added that the residents of Trans-Baikal view trips to the Chinese villages of Manzhouli and Hailar as ordinary visits to neighboring settlements for quality goods, while actively working to attract tourists from China.
