“Despite the difficult situation in the global economy, both sides demonstrate a desire to search for effective forms and mechanisms for increasing trade and economic cooperation.

In particular, we are talking about the development of new joint projects in energy, mining, transport and infrastructure and a number of other areas, ”the ministry said in a statement.

It is emphasized that cooperation in the Mongolia-EAEU format is becoming a top priority.

This form of interaction, in turn, is aimed at creating conditions for facilitating mutual access of goods to the markets of Mongolia and the EAEU, as well as the possible conclusion of a free trade agreement.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held talks with Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias.
