"During the visit, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation was received by the President of Mongolia, Ukhnagiin Khurelsukh, with whom he discussed the prospects for the development of trade and economic cooperation," the statement on the website of the Russian Cabinet of Ministers said.

It is noted that during the talks with the Mongolian prime minister, the topic of increasing the export of goods from Mongolia to Russia was raised.

"The parties also discussed a number of promising areas of bilateral cooperation in the field of energy and transport," added the government's press service.

In June, it became known that Mongolia had allowed Russians vaccinated with the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine to enter.
