The Mongolian Red Cross Society has donated 20,000 masks to China to support its battle against the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.
The donation was sent to the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
The consignment was quickly cleared through customs on Monday at a checkpoint in Ereenhot, the largest Chinese inland port open to Mongolia.
The move came after Mongolian President Khaltmaagiin Battulga paid a special one-day visit to China on Wednesday. He was the first foreign head of state to visit China after the outbreak. Speaking of the profound friendship between the two countries, Battulga also pledged to donate 30,000 sheep to China.
