Vladivostok [Russia], Sep 5 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who met Mongolian President Khaltmaagiin Battulga here earlier today on the sidelines of the 5th East Economic Forum, touched upon varied areas of bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
The Mongolian President, who is likely to visit India later this month, discussed on a number of issues in that pretext, including projects which are underway, particularly the line of credit extended by India to Mongolia in building a major oil refinery that would help the Central Asian country meet its energy needs.
