Khushigt Valley airport work is suspended
Mr. J.Bat-Erdene: Its airport will be built by ¥21.9 billion. Its talk started in 2005, but R&D work was made lately. During the projection and planning period, its cost has increased. In relationship with this issue, we discussed with Ministry of Finance, consulting companies, JICA and Japanese Embassy and team from Japan made study on cost and our proposal. According to the team’s evaluation, additional ¥9 billion is required. Due to price increase, the project work has suspended for 4-5 months. But the project could even be canceled, if we couldn’t reach accord. Thanks to good efforts from both sides, cargo, office and control tower will be built by the Mongolian side funding.
