One of the key topics discussed was Mongolia’s plan to increase fuel storage capacity. According to B.Enkhtuvshin, the country plans to build fuel and petroleum product storage tanks with a total capacity of 481,000 tonnes this year.
The council reviewed the project and issued recommendations on its implementation.
Officials noted that recent geopolitical tensions, including the US-Iran conflict, have created uncertainty in the global oil market. The Strait of Hormuz, located between Iran and Oman, is one of the most critical routes for global oil transportation, with about 20 percent of the world’s oil shipments passing through it. Uncertainty in the region has already affected global markets. As a result of these developments, the price of Brent crude oil has increased by about 30 percent, which will directly affect fuel prices at Mongolia’s borders, B.Enkhtuvshin said.
The Deputy Minister also confirmed that Mongolia will rely entirely on Russia for fuel imports this year after China introduced restrictions on exporting oil products abroad. “This year we will not be able to import petroleum products from China, as the country has banned exports. Therefore, Mongolia will purchase 100 percent of its oil products from Russia,” he said.
