Plans for stronger economic corridor moving forward

Projects that will boost infrastructure development in Mongolia and further the nation's economic cooperation with China and Russia were the focus of discussions by the country's leaders on the sidelines of the 15th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit.

President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj co-hosted the summit in Ufa, Russia, and approved a cooperative blueprint on Thursday.

Analysts said the trilateral teamwork has "taken off at a great speed" since the first summit was held last September.
