The cumulative cargo throughput at Mandula Port in 2026 exceeded 10 million metric tons by mid-August, 143 days earlier than last year, representing a year-on-year increase of 210.83 percent and setting a new record.

Behind this figure lies transformative progress driven by Darhan Muminggan Joint Banner's investment in port infrastructure, as well as two-way empowerment through coordinated efforts of foreign affairs, customs, border inspection, and other authorities.

Many freight vehicles now head for Mongolia via the port, with its sound hardware and software systems providing robust support for steady cargo growth and high-quality economic and trade development along the China-Mongolia border.
