Zhejiang Higher People’s Court,

Your court’s “Request for Instruction [2009] Zhe Shang Wai Ta Zi No. 1 on the Non-Recognition of the Award No. 73/23-06 Issued by the Mongolia National Arbitration Court” has been received. Upon deliberation, we reply as follows:

The present case concerns the recognition and enforcement of a foreign arbitral award. Since the award was made by a Mongolian institution, and both China and Mongolia are Contracting States to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (hereinafter the “New York Convention”), pursuant to Article 267 of the Civil Procedure of China and Article I of the New York Convention, the New York Convention is applicable to the review of the award for recognition and enforcement.
