Forum draws 100 foreign delegates

B.Ganbold, head of the Asia Desk in the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and Trade, has said the present 19^th North-East Asian
Economic Forum is significant as, apart from Mongolians, it has over 100
delegates from Russia, USA, South Korea, China and Japan, including government
representatives, scholars and businessmen. Mongolia has been participating in
the forum since 1991. The discussions are open and wide-ranging and throw up
interesting ideas. All the countries elucidate their policies and positions on
the environment, infrastructure development, investment and finance.

As
part of Mongolia’s preparation to host the forum, a two-week training was
organized on “Resolving difficulties in
cooperation among North-East Asian countries” to help young people learn to
develop a global perspective. He added that businessmen of the region interested
in investing in the main mining projects of Mongolia have been provided all
relevant information on the Government’s economic policy.
