Mongolia shipped 11.33-million metric tons of coal to China in April, a 61% year-on-year surge that narrowly edged out Indonesia's 11.12-million tons and marked the first time the landlocked nation has topped the monthly rankings. Over the first four months of the year, Mongolian coal shipments to China rose 61% to 39.37-million tons, driven by improved border logistics and higher domestic output in Indonesia reducing the competitiveness of its lower-grade cargoes.
China aims to boost Mongolia trade to $20-billion despite dependence concernsMongolia hopes to lift two-way trade with China by more than 10% to $20-billion this year, President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh told Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during his first visit to Ulaanbaatar in nearly four years. The target underscores Mongolia's deepening economic reliance on its southern neighbour, which takes more than 80-million tons of Mongolian coal annually and is set to absorb rising copper output as a second cross-border railway link nears completion.
Protests briefly disrupt Rio Tinto copper exports from Oyu Tolgoi mineRio Tinto resumed copper concentrate shipments from its vast Oyu Tolgoi mine on June 18 after protesters blockaded a key haulage road for a day, preventing trucks from reaching the Chinese border. The mine, in which Rio holds a 66% stake and the Mongolian government 34%, remains controversial as Ulaanbaatar seeks to renegotiate loan terms and management fees it deems unfair.
