On Monday, Chinese authorities announced that the first unified standard railway that would connect the country to Mongolia has started construction.
The railway would be passing through the entry point in Ceke, which connects China and Mongolia. The rail line would be 1,435 mm in width in comparison to the 1,520 mm width requirement in Mongolia. The creation of the new rail line is expected to help Ceke become the largest port of entry in China to Mongolia and bring in cargo of almost 30 million tonnes.
The Ceke port was first opened in 1992 but its operations were seasonal. In 2009, they officially opened the port for regular operations.
