Recalling talks about establishment of a bicycle assembly factory in Sukhbaatar province in cooperation with Xilingol League of the Inner Mongolia, he promised a support from the Mongolian parliament to this project. In response, Mr Wang noted the profoundly developing relationship between the peoples of the two countries in addition to the commercial and economic ties, and said there is a great opportunity to further enhance the relations and cooperation.
