?China and Mongolia on Monday pledged to work closely together to root out corruption.

The pledge came at a meeting between Deputy Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection He Yong and Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party General Control Committee Chairman L. Dondog.

He briefed Dondog on the CPC's efforts to combat corruption and uphold integrity while Dondog praised the effectiveness of the efforts.

He and Dondog agreed to step up inter-party exchanges to fight corruption and build clean government.

On broader China-Mongolia relations, He said good neighborly friendship and mutually-beneficial cooperation have been the hallmarks of the bilateral relationship since the two countries forged diplomatic ties in October 1949.

He expected Dondog's visit to help bilateral ties.
