On September 3, Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar inaugurated the expanded and modernized Altanbulag border port.
The MNT 14.9 billion project included a four-lane 1.7 km road, a 7,000 m² parking lot, a 30,000 m² indoor area, and a full engineering network. With USD 7.8 million in financing, international-standard facilities such as a port building, smart electronic gates, X-ray scanners, laboratory equipment, and green infrastructure were also installed.
The development added 19 passenger buildings, 18 cargo facilities, five infrastructure units, and 6,000 m² of landscaped space. As a result, annual capacity has increased from 600,000–900,000 to 1.5–2 million passengers, and from 200,000–400,000 to 600,000–800,000 vehicles.
Funded through concessional Asian Development Bank loans, the project attracted investment without burdening the state budget.
Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar said he is confident the upgraded Altanbulag Port will boost exports, drive economic growth, and strengthen Mongolia’s role in regional transport and logistics by enhancing access to the USD 2.4 trillion Eurasian market of 183 million people.
