President Xi Jinping leaves on a two-day state visit to Mongolia on Thursday in the latest effort by Beijing to enhance its ties with surrounding countries.
It will be China's first presidential visit to Mongolia in 11 years and Xi's second one-stop overseas visit since he took office in March 2013.
Observers from both countries described the visit as historic.
