Xi proposes to build China-Mongolia-Russia economic corridor

The three countries, Xi pointed out, can dovetail the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative with Russia‘s transcontinental rail plan and Mongolia‘s Prairie Road program, and jointly build a China-Mongolia-Russia economic corridor.
On building the corridor, Xi called on the three sides to strengthen traffic interconnectivity, facilitate cargo clearance and transportation, and study the feasibility of building a transnational power grid.
As part of the initiative, Xi also suggested that the three countries beef up cooperation in such areas as tourism, think tank, media, environmental protection, and disaster prevention and relief.
