Bat-Erdene, called at the Ukhaa Khudag complex and saw its operations. After seeing the operations of Energy Resources, Minister D. Sumyaabazar said: Energy Resources has solved its power supply and its water supply. It has established a plant to produce a value-added product domestically. It is adding value and increasing the worth of Mongolian coal. This is truly a major development, with a great deal of capital invested. Much effort and time have gone into it. Here you can see what private sector organisation looks like.

The Minister of Road and Transport Development, J. Bat-Erdene, said on the visit: I first came to Ukhaa Khudag in 2010. Since then production has settled down and capacity has become high. It is true that the main issue now is coal transport in the mining sector. We will focus on this going forward. The delegation also saw at first hand the situation and conditions of coal transport from the Tavantolgoi region to Tsagaan Khad and the Gashuunsukhait border crossing. The ministers said they would hold talks with the relevant bodies about the very long queues and congestion in coal transport and take urgent measures. They also said they would present to the Government the option of bringing the Tsagaan Khad crossing back into use and operating it on a short haulage cycle.
