In Mongolia, China hopes to inject strong impetus into the deepening and development of China-Mongolia relations through the strategic docking of the "three engines".

　　Su Hao pointed out that China focuses on strengthening cooperation with countries and regions in Asia, Europe, Latin America and other regions from the top-level design, which is conducive to enhancing mutual political trust between the two sides and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results.

　　Under the strategic docking, a series of specific practical cooperation has also come naturally.

For example, China and Cuba emphasize strengthening cooperation in fields of common concern such as biotechnology and renewable energy; China and Mongolia regard interconnection and energy cooperation as one of the priority directions; , vegetable planting and processing and other fields of scientific and technological exchanges and capacity building cooperation... These cooperations are not only close to the needs of people's livelihood, but also reflect complementary advantages.
