Mongolia and China began construction of first unified standard railway.

Mongolia and China began construction of first unified standard railway. The rail line will pass through Gashuun Sukhait and Ceke border port, the second largest port of entry between Mongolia and China. It will be 1,435 mm in width, the standard gauge in China. The Mongolian standard gauge is 1,520 mm in width, which causes extra costs for cargo trains travelling between the two countries. The rail line is expected to help the two countries border port become the biggest port of entry between Mongolia and China, with annual cargo throughput of more than 30 million tons.
