The spring plenary session of Parliament convened today with remarks delivered by Speaker M.Enkhbold and President Kh.Battulga.

In his opening speech, Speaker of Parliament M.Enkhbold emphasized the need to move the large-scale projects forward saying “the economy is recovering, and the price of copper and coal, main export products, has increased.
