MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 23rd September, 2021) Mongolian Foreign Minister Battsetseg Batmunkh has said that Russia and China are willing to increase fuel exports to the East Asian country to combat the domestic fuel shortage, Mongolian Ikon News reported on Thursday.

Speaking on the sidelines of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly in New York, the official told the news outlet that both Moscow and Beijing had promised to ramp up their fuel exports to Mongolia.
