ULAN BATOR, April 16 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia's foreign trade turnover increased 6.4 percent year-on-year to 6.1 billion U.S. dollars in the first quarter of this year, data released by the National Statistics Office showed Tuesday.
The Asian country registered a foreign trade surplus of 1.2 billion dollars in the January-March period, mainly due to a significant increase in the exports of mining products such as iron ore and unprocessed or semi-processed gold, it said.
The landlocked country traded with 128 economies worldwide in the above-mentioned period. ■
