Marking its 10th anniversary in 2025 – coinciding with the 76th anniversary of China-Mongolia diplomatic ties – the expo has grown in scale, reach, and global influence since its launch in 2015. It has become an important platform for advancing bilateral trade and strengthening regional cooperation.

This year's expo featured four major sections for high-level exchanges, economic and trade negotiations, cultural exchanges, and exhibitions, highlighting its regional, open, and diverse character.
