For individuals, companies, and businesses, the most important goal is to deliver goods to the destination by the
fastest, most cost-effective, reliable, and secure route. Transit freight (Transit) is a form of
transportation where cargo passes through the territory of one country (crossing its border) to reach other countries.
For a landlocked country like Mongolia, our geographic advantage—positioned between two major powers—makes us one of the
shortest routes connecting not only Russia and China, but also Asia and Europe. The railway corridor passing through
Mongolia offers key advantages over other corridors linking Central Asia and Europe: it is
shorter and helps save both time and cost.

In today’s globalized world, Mongolia can leverage its geographic advantage to become a transit country by
integrating into international trade, transportation, and logistics networks. This plays an important role in boosting
competitiveness, accelerating economic growth, and addressing a range of socio-economic challenges. At present,
rail transport plays the leading role in Mongolia’s transit freight.
