Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has wrapped up his three-day visit to Mongolia, where he attended a commissioning ceremony for the central sewage treatment plant, built with assistance from China, in Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia, on Monday.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, attended the ceremony alongside Mongolian Foreign Minister Batmunkh Battsetseg and other officials.
Wang said at the ceremony that China announced its support for Mongolia's economic development in 2014, laying the foundation for the construction of the central sewage treatment plant, adding that the people-centered project is a symbol of friendship and another testament to the longstanding mutual support between China and Mongolia. "Over the past eight years, this livelihood project, also a friendship project, carries the shared expectations of the leaders and the peoples of both countries. From blueprint to reality, and from groundbreaking to completion, it has become another symbol of China-Mongolia mutual assistance," Wang said.
The plant is a flagship cooperative project between China and Mongolia. Constructed by Chinese enterprises using Chinese standards and technology, it is the largest and the most advanced sewage treatment facility in Mongolia. The plant is expected to significantly improve local water quality, the environment, and residents' quality of life.
