ULAN BATOR, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — At a construction site near Green Lake in Mongolia's capital Sukhbaatar district, 60-year-old shepherdess Tsogtsetseg stands on tiptoe and looks hopefully at a nearly completed residential building, clutching a floor plan tightly in her hands.
“They say it will be possible to move in soon,” she says. “I come to look every few days.” With a gleam in her eyes, she points to the balcony on the apartment plan: “I’ll plant flowers here, my grandson will run around on the grass in the yard.”
The residential complex “1008 apartments near the Green Lake,” where Tsogtsetseg dreams of moving, is being built with the support of China. This project, scheduled for completion in August of this year, brings 1,008 families closer to the dream of their own apartment.
In June 2022, a project to reconstruct ger districts was launched with the support of China. It is being carried out by China Second Metallurgy Group Co., Ltd. The project aims to improve the living conditions of the population of Ulaanbaatar and solve the problem of housing shortage for residents of ger districts.
"The project is aimed at the real needs of residents of the ger districts of Ulaanbaatar. In addition to residential buildings, basic infrastructure facilities are being built at the same time – water supply, electricity supply, as well as social facilities, including a service center, a kindergarten, small green areas. Thus, both living conditions and everyday comfort are improved," said Li Haofei, a representative of the contractor.
"I saw that our Chinese friends build houses with special care. I especially liked the showroom, exactly the same as my new apartment will be: a bright living room, a clean bathroom, hot water around the clock – it will be comfortable and cozy to live there," Tsogtsetseg says enthusiastically.
The 1,008 social housing project is one of many Chinese aid projects in Mongolia. In recent years, China has built a highway to the new Ulaanbaatar International Airport, a rehabilitation center for children with disabilities, and several schools in Mongolia, thereby providing comprehensive support for the country's development.
The China-built Rehabilitation Center for Children with Disabilities regularly treats patients. The center's director, Uganetsetseg, noted that over the six years of its operation, more than 40,000 children have been treated here. China also continues to provide materials and train personnel, which helps improve the health of children.
Mongolians highly value medical care from China. A month ago, 68-year-old Dorjsureng from Ulaanbaatar underwent free cataract surgery at the People's Hospital in Erenhot, China. His vision has improved significantly: he can watch TV and read newspapers again.
"I am truly grateful to the Red Cross Society of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The operation was successful, and I can now see very clearly with this eye. When I fully recover, I will definitely go to China and see more cities," he says.
From May 21 to 23 this year, within the framework of the Belt and Road – Bright Journey project, a campaign to examine patients with cataracts was held in Ulaanbaatar. As a result, 120 residents of Mongolia were operated for free at the Erenhot People's Hospital in late June.
The Bright Journey Project, a cross-border humanitarian project of the Inner Mongolia Red Cross Society and the Mongolian Red Cross Society, has been running since 2019 and has helped 645 Mongolian patients restore their vision, helping to strengthen the ties between the peoples of China and Mongolia. –0–
