It is a good trend to switch payments from the US dollar to national currencies or Chinese RMB, which are a friendly currency for us, the official said in an interview with the Sputnik news agency on Thursday.

In general, we have already given up the US dollar and have almost completely switched to making payments in rubles and RMB, he said on the sidelines of the international scientific-practical conference ‘Current Problems of Russian-Mongolian Cooperation.’

The ruble’s share makes up 22 percent, and the RMB’s is 68 percent in Russia-Mongolia trade, Overchuk added.
