The frontier defense servicemen of the Chinese and Mongolian militaries stationed along the border of the People's Republic of China and the State of Mongolia near Altay, a city of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, held a meeting prior to the 2013 Chinese Spring Festival on January 28, 2013.
"We hope both the Chinese and Mongolian frontier militaries could solve the issues concerning frontier defense through meetings and talks and reach consensus on major issues involving border management such as smuggling across border, entry and exit with smuggled weapons and absconding of criminals!" This proposal put forward by the Chinese side at the meeting was agreed on by both sides.
The Chinese and Mongolian militaries have taken positive measures to crack down smuggling, illegal border-crossing and terrorism force in recent years, as evidenced by many meetings held by the frontier defense forces of both sides to conduct consultation and talks on key points including consolidating border defense and building harmonious relationship. What's more, in the past two years, the two sides carried out no less than 3 joint surveys each year.
The Chinese and Mongolian frontier defense forces conducted joint boundary settlement inside each other's borders in 2011. Later, they also launched two large-scale border investigations in the same direction and their patrol routes almost covered the whole garrison area.
The Chinese and Mongolian frontier defense forces carried out 4 joint boundary settlements and patrols successively in 2012 and made joint efforts to crack down criminal acts of terrorism force and smuggling across border, achieving remarkable effects.
In late April of 2012, the officers and men of the two sides even went deep into each other's territories for get-togethers.
