On December 11, the first express train running between Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and Irkutsk, Russia departed, reducing the travel time between the two locations by approximately from 40 to 24 hours. Since the implementation of a visa waiver agreement between Mongolia and Russia in 2014, the number of Mongolian tourists visiting Russia has increased. The running of trains no. 305 and no. 306 between Ulaanbaatar and Irkutsk is based upon an agreement made at the International Railways Conference held in Halong in Vietnam, and a resolution established between Russia, Mongolia, and China in Irkutsk, Russia on October 2.
