According to leading Mongolian news portal news.mn on June 21, 2010 united session of Parliament last Friday has made initial reading of the draft Parliament resolution on state policy on rail road transportation.
The session was introduced draft submitted by Government on which also taskforce of Economic Standing Committee headed by Member of the Parliament R.Rash also worked on. The taskforce did not change policy submitted by the Government but said that are items to be amended
and improved. In general, united session of parliament has approved state policy to develop railroads in three stages. In this way, Parliament has supported to build railroad from Tavan Tolgoi to Zuun Bayan, from Sainshand to Choibalsan. The railroad gage has not been decided and is to be decided during second reading. Parliament Speaker D.Demberel has expressed gratitude and approval for MPs for having united position of state policy on railroads. Reuters reported on industrial park and railways in Mongolia as following on June 18,2010.
“Tavan Tolgoi"s development plan isn"t the only issue simmering inside the halls of the State Great Hural. Just how to shift the country"s resources out of its vast interior is also crucial to making its mining operations economically feasible over the long term, analysts say. Mongolia aims to build a massive industrial park in Sainshand, capital of Dornogovi Province, to help transport metals and coal to customers around the world. The government is receiving proposals from engineering companies and hopes to move forward with a
plan this year. The facility will include copper smelting and coal processing plants, as well as railroads to
and from the park. In April, Prime Minister S.Batbold threw his support behind a controversial east-west railway plan, which will connect Tavan Tolgoi to the eastern city of Choibalsan via Sainshand. "The Boston Consulting group has identified there are other market opportunities besides China, such as Korea, Japan, India, and Taiwan for both coal and copper," said Ganbat Chuluunkhuu, adviser to the minister for road, transport, construction and urban development. "The idea is to have multiple export opportunities and, number two, to not be dependent on one trading partner," Ganbat added, referring to China. "In addition to Chinese export hubs via Chinese seaports, we would have export opportunities via Russian seaports to reach markets in Japan, Korea, and elsewhere.”
