    Did you know...

    • Mongolia is the world’s second-largest landlocked country, following Kazakhstan. This means it has no direct access to the sea, which impacts its trade logistics. All maritime shipping must pass through neighbouring countries, primarily China and Russia.
    • With no coastline, Mongolia relies on access to seaports in neighbouring countries, notably the Chinese ports of Tianjin and Dalian.
    • Mongolia has signed various international agreements to streamline and enhance trade routes, including the Asian Highway Network.
    • Road transport plays a significant role in Mongolia’s shipping industry. The main trade route runs through the Gobi Desert, connecting Ulaanbaatar, the capital, to Chinese and Russian border crossings.
