Mongolian textbooks tell our people that the Yangtze River means a lot to the Chinese people.” Sumiyabazar Dolgorsuren said that this is his first visit to Chongqing. Chongqings urban architectural features are very similar to those of Hong Kong. And Chongqing also has similarities with Ulaanbaatar， which is surrounded by four mountains with rivers passing through the city.” Chongqing has mountains and rivers. The buildings stand at different sea levels but are well-organized， making the city so charming. This is also a key point for Chongqing to attract foreign tourists.”

Sumiyabazar Dolgorsuren pays great attention to the construction of transportation infrastructure in Chongqing. He was surprised “there are 13，000 bridges of different sizes”. Sumiyabazar Dolgorsuren says that “one important purpose of our visit is to learn about Chongqings development in railway transportation， in which Chongqing has advanced technologies. We hope to bring Chongqings advanced technology and strengths in road construction to Ulaanbaatar through cooperation.”

After visiting the monitoring center of the Chongqing Railway Transportation System， Sumiyabazar Dolgorsuren gains a deeper insight into Chongqings progress in digital and smart development. He hopes to introduce such advanced technologies from Chongqing to Ulaanbaatar and promote the localized application.

Sumiyabazar Dolgorsuren says that Ulaanbaatar values the digital development. 70% of Mongolias data is stored in Ulaanbaatar， and it needs a better way to use the data to boost Ulaanbaatars development. By now， the Ulaanbaatar government is planning to gradually establish a smart administration system for car parking areas， while some companies are trying to make their manufacturing smarter. He hopes to see smart upgrades in the payment system and e-government.

“There is also a lot of room for exchange and cooperation in areas like culture and education.” Sumiyabazar Dolgorsuren talks about Chongqing Universitys strength in training engineers， and he hopes to have more Mongolian students study at Chongqing University and learn information technology and participate in training.

Our relationship will reach a new height as we identify concrete items for exchanges and cooperation between the two cities in the economy， culture， and so on.”

I believe that based on mutual trust， we can take the friendly exchange and cooperation between the two cities to a new level and become a model of sub-national exchange. I have very high expectations for the exchanges and cooperation between Ulaanbaatar and Chongqing， and I hope that Ulaanbaatar and Chongqing will prosper together and I wish Ulaanbaatar and Chongqing a brighter future，” says Sumiyabazar Dolgorsuren.
