Mongolia has vowed to provide support enhancing the China-Europe freight trains route. "We will help shorten the transit time of China-Europe freight trains via Mongolia and provide fast customs clearance services," said B Tsogtgerel, deputy minister of the Mongolian Road and Transport Development Ministry. In 2016, Chinese authorities announced the freight train route, which starts in Erenhot in northern China's Inner Mongolia and travels through Mongolia before linking to Russia and other European countries. "There were 167 China-Europe freight trains travelling through Mongolia in 2016 and that is expected to reach 400 in 2017," said Tsogtgerel at the "Transit Mongolia 2017" forum in Beijing. "The train route via Mongolia will help develop the rich resources in Mongolia and promote the common development of countries along the route." The forum highlighted the opportunity to ship freights from Europe to Asia and Asia to Europe through Mongolian territory in the shortest time under safe and favorable conditions. Two new freight routes set to be opened in Mongolia and the train will run once in a week and four times in a month.
