PoliticsUlaanbaatar/MONTSAME/ Speaker
of Parliament G.Zandanshatar received Koblandin Kalybek
Ibragimovich, Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to Mongolia
on February 15.
Congratulating Mr. Zandanshatar on having
been elected as the Speaker of Mongolian Parliament, the Ambassador presented a
greeting of Mr. Nurlan Nigmatulin, Chairman
of the Mazhilis of
the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan and an invitation for 4th meeting of Speakers of Eurasian Countries’
Parliament to be held in Astana on September 23-24, 2019.
The Ambassador also noted successfully expanding relations between two countries in recent years and informed that the bilateral trade turnover reached USD67.4 million as of 2018. Adding that cooperation in mining sector would be very promising in bilateral economic relations, Mr. Koblandin recalled that the parties agreed to establish a joint gold refining plant in Mongolia, signing the Memorandum on cooperation during last year’s Mongolia-Kazakhstan Intergovernmental Commission’s meeting. He requested the Speaker to pay attention on the matter.
Moreover, he emphasized that it is important
for Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and Russia to jointly develop cultural and
humanitarian relations and use a wide opportunity of frontier trades
and transit transports within the project ‘Our common home-Altai’.
Central location of Mongolia’s ‘Tsagaan Nuur’
free zone in this region can make an opportunity to increase freight
transportation flow through the route ‘Mongolia-Russia-Kazakhstan -China’ and
be a major junction of regional transportation. As it is essential to put
forward a joint proposal to Russia to improve 300km auto roads in Russian
territory within this framework, we hope that Mongolian side will demonstrate
on this matter, said the Ambassador.
Furthermore, the Ambassador requested to pay
attention on resolving previously agreed issue on opening a direct flight
between Kazakhstan and Mongolia and solving troubles arisen in regard with
road, entry and exit of a building of the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan
to be newly built in Ulaanbaatar city.
Mr. Zandanshatar responded to be attentive on
matters and proposals forwarded by Mr.Koblandin and expressed to depute
corresponding organizations for resolving the matters positively.
