Summary: | I
n September 2014, Chinese leaders introduced the initiative to build the
China, Mongolia and Russia Economic Corridor during the SCO summit in
Dushanbe. In March 2015, China issued The prospect and action of promoting to build
the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which officially
made building the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor a strategic support
of the Belt and Road initiative. In July 2015, during the summit of the SCO and the
BRICS in Ufa, Russia, the leaders of China, Mongolia and Russia signed the China,
Mongolia and Russia tripartite cooperation medium-term road map, which marked the
tripartite cooperation agreement between the countries. Less than a year had passed
between the initiative of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and signing
the China, Mongolia and Russia tripartite cooperation medium-term road map. This
agreement clearly shows the economic corridor is the common choice for all three
countries and the strategic choice which meets their interests.
