Changes due to repositioning the UN Development System discussed
SocietyUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Foreign Minister D.Tsogtbaatar on
December 11, met with Beate Trankmann, United Nations (UN) Resident Coordinator
and UN Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative in Mongolia.
At the meeting, the sides exchanged information and views on
Mongolia-UN cooperation, especially some changes brought by the repositioning
of the UN Development System and further plan of action.
Under the UN General Assembly (UNGA)’s resolution on the
repositioning of the UN Development System, functions of the UN resident
coordinator are being separated from those of the UNDP resident representative.
Thus, Ms. Beate Trankmann will be
working as UN Resident Coordinator ad interim until the appointment of a new
resident coordinator.
The Foreign Minister noted the Government of Mongolia will endeavor
to be understanding towards and support the changes effected by the above
mentioned reform.
