To further advance research on the application of standards and technology in the building and building materials fields between China and Mongolia, and to deeply promote the outcomes of the National Key R&D Program NQI—Standard Going Global Applicability Research Project, on December 2, 2019, the "China-Mongolia Building and Building Materials Standardization Technical Forum," jointly organized by CTC and the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology, was held in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. A total of 40 representatives from more than 20 organizations attended the forum, including the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology, the Mongolian National Building Materials Laboratory, the Building Materials Association, the Cement Production Association, the Transportation Development Center, the Road Building Materials Laboratory, the Road Research Center, Mongol Cement, Mark Cement, and the Building Development Experimental Center. Eight news media outlets, including Mongolian National Radio, reported the meeting in real time.

The forum was chaired by Surenzhavyn Bolod, Director of the Conformity Assessment Department of the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology. D. Sukhbaatar, Deputy Director of the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology, attended and delivered a speech. Surenzhavyn Bolod introduced the standards situation of Mongolia's building materials industry; Rabgadorj, Executive Manager of the Mongolian Building Materials Association, introduced the situation of Mongolia's cement industry and standards. Meanwhile, Professor Qiu Yan, Director of the Science and Technology Development Department of CTC, and Professor Wang Ruihai, Deputy Dean of the Cement Inspection and Certification Institute, introduced on behalf of the Chinese side the report on the development of China's construction standards and the formulation and revision of China's cement-related standards.

In the afternoon technical thematic reports, Tang Yujiao, Executive Deputy President of Xi'an Wall Materials Research & Design Institute of China Building Materials, introduced "Solutions for Prefabricated Buildings in Cold Regions"; Wang Suiyuan, Researcher of the Science and Technology Department of China Road and Bridge Corporation, delivered a report titled "Pavement Materials and Structures for China's High-Grade Highways"; Zhang Lijun, Chief Engineer of CTC Beijing Tianyu Co., Ltd., delivered a report titled "Application and Quality of Cement Concrete." The excellent technical reports by the Chinese experts resonated with the attending technical personnel, who exchanged and discussed the application of relevant Chinese and Mongolian technical standards.

According to the conference schedule, during the following two days from December 3 to 4, the Chinese technical experts will go to the Mongolian National Building Materials Laboratory to continue carrying out technical training on the Chinese national standard "Methods for Chemical Analysis of Cement," building a platform for exchanges between Chinese and Mongolian technical personnel, which is conducive to promoting the accurate and effective implementation of China's national standards in Mongolia.

With the continuous enrichment of global cooperation concepts and practices such as the Belt and Road Initiative, Mongolia, as one of the important countries along the Belt and Road, will surely play an important role. CTC will also actively respond to the development strategy of China National Building Materials Group, continue to carry out standards cooperation and mutual assistance between China and Mongolia, and promote the long-term development of China's building and building materials standards field with Mongolia.
