Mongolia is committed to the one-China principle and opposes foreign interference in China's internal affairs, such as the Taiwan region, Tibet, Xinjiang and Hong Kong, Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh said on Monday during a meeting with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. 

Mongolia is willing to raise its comprehensive strategic partnership with China to a new level, he added.

Khurelsukh appreciated China for sharing development opportunities with its neighbors and hoped to deepen cooperation in various fields, such as economy and trade, ports, infrastructure, and sand control. 

Mongolia praises China's COVID-19 prevention approach and thanks China for providing vaccines and COVID-19 prevention supplies, the president said, adding that Mongolia values the importance of the Global Development Initiative and Global Security Initiative and appreciates China's positive contribution to safeguarding the UN Charter. 

China will continue to provide anti-COVID-19 supplies as needed and aims to build a China-Mongolia community with a shared future, Wang said. China is willing to help Mongolia turn its resources and geopolitical advantages into development advantages, he added. 

Wang also met with his Mongolian counterpart Batmunkh Battsetseg on Monday. Battsetseg said the primary direction of Mongolia's foreign policy is to consolidate and develop relations with China.  

China will further promote the Belt and Road Initiative and the Steppe Road program to deepen comprehensive cooperation, Wang said.  

Both sides agreed to strengthen diplomatic contacts as well as economic and trade cooperation. Both sides will ensure the safe and stable operation of the ports and improve the volume of goods and customs clearance efficiency.  

Both sides will actively cooperate in sand control and China will strive to plant 70 billion trees in 10 years to build a community of life for man and nature.  

After the meeting, both sides signed documents on cooperation and witnessed the signing of cooperation documents on railroad ports and sanitation and quarantine. 

Gombojav Zandanshatar, chairman of the State Great Hural, which is Mongolia's parliament, also met with Wang on Monday and called for strengthening the interaction between the legislative bodies of the two countries. 

Earlier on Sunday, Mongolian Prime Minister Luvsannamsrai Oyun-Erdene said his country regards China as a good neighbor "that is not to be traded for gold" during a meeting with Wang in the Mongolian capital, Ulan Bator.

China is a responsible major country, representing the future of Asia, and its development is in the common interest of Asian countries, Oyun-Erdene said. The Mongolian side supports China's further development and growth and aspires to achieve common development and prosperity with it, he added.

Oyun-Erdene said the independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and development path of all countries should be respected. Wang said China appreciates Mongolia's adherence to the one-China principle and its support for China's safeguarding its core interests.

China also respects the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Mongolia and supports the country in choosing a development path in line with its own national conditions and the wishes of its people, and backs its stable governance and priority on development, Wang said.
