A seminar on the development and prospect of good-neighborly relations between China and Mongolia took place Wednesday in the Mongolian capital Ulan Bator.
In recent years, the good-neighborly relations between China and Mongolia have developed smoothly, and have featured frequent high-level visits and ever deepening cooperation in various fields, Chinese Ambassador to Mongolia Yu Hongyao said.
Yu hoped that new achievements could be made in bilateral relations with efforts from both sides.
Over 60 officials and scholars from the two countries attended the two-day seminar.
They will discuss and exchange views on topics including the development of bilateral relations since the forging of diplomatic ties in 1949 and trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.
The seminar was co-organized by the Mongolian Institute of Strategic Study, Mongolian Ministry of External Relations and Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, as part of a series of celebrations to mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties.
