Abstract
The "Belt and Road" initiative has brought development and convenience to countries along its route, while also providing a platform and opportunities for educational cooperation and exchange between nations. The educational cooperation between China and Mongolia, benefiting from their natural geographical and historical advantages, has become even more accessible. This paper aims to explore new development paths for this cooperation and lay a foundation for the collaborative progress of education between the two countries. The research primarily adopts a literature review method, supplemented by logical analysis, to summarize and clarify the forms and characteristics of current educational cooperation between China and Mongolia. The study identifies several challenges in further cooperation, including language barriers, differences in understanding, cooperation models, and educational resource disparities. However, it suggests that these challenges can be addressed through measures such as strengthening language training, sharing educational resources, and deepening cooperative mechanisms. By enhancing and promoting deeper educational cooperation between China and Mongolia, leveraging each other's strengths, and fostering mutual learning, both countries' educational development can be steadily advanced. This will contribute to the continuous flow of talent between China and Mongolia and provide a reference for future educational cooperation and exchange between the two nations.
