Government Declassifies Bogdkhan Railway Files and Moves Baidrag Hydropower to PPP

Those steps signal a push for greater transparency and faster delivery of large infrastructure while social and safety reforms are advanced.

Overview

  • On Tuesday the cabinet removed secrecy from National Security Council and government records on the Bogdkhan railway project and published the previously classified meeting notes and resolutions.
  • Also on May 20 the government approved implementing the Baidrag hydropower plant as a public‑private partnership and ordered a formal process to select a private partner for design, environmental study, construction and a 25‑year handback arrangement.
  • The national tripartite labour and social partnership agreement for 2026–2028 was signed on Friday, creating a framework for wage policy, social protection cooperation and follow‑up on pension reforms the government says it will intensify.
  • Parliament’s Petitions Committee set up a working group after police reported 1,167 housing‑order fraud cases over three years with 995 victims and about 64.5 billion MNT in losses, and prosecutors disclosed rising Animal Law violations focused on illegal transport of fish and marmots.
  • Authorities are running a national disaster‑management tabletop exercise to strengthen local command and response, cities are moving to buy natural‑gas storage and refuelling equipment to make idle assets usable, and civil groups continue tree‑planting tied to the 'Тэрбум мод' reforestation campaign.
