Key Points:

1. There is potential synergy between the goals and outcomes that the business organizations and their members are striving for in terms of Mongolia's trade and economic growth.

2. Identifying the Strategic Trade Items-exports, imports and re-exports on “dual use” strategic commodities that can be used both as commercial civilian use /toothpaste, shampoo, etc./ and national military power /chemical & biological weapon, missile fuselage, etc./ is essential.

3. Having a solid national strategic trade control system and industry compliance culture is necessary; the following Main Strategic Control systems need to be adopted and enforced:

a. Law, Regulation b. Special Licensing c. Enforcement control mechanism d. National sector involvement e. International involvement
