History

The development of the corridor requires significant cooperation from Russia. Progress has been slowed following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent deterioration of Russia-European Union Relations.

In January 2024, Mongolia stated that it was seeking to establish a China-Mongolia-Russia summit to coordinate economic development, including of the economic corridor.^[2]
