/MONTSAME/ On May 21, Major-General
T.Badral, Head of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) today met
with Ambassador of the United States to Mongolia Michael Klecheski.
During the
meeting, Major-General T.Badral informed that NEMA collaborates with the United
States Army Pacific, United States Indo-Pacific Command, Alaska National Guard,
and the United States Forest Service, saying “One of the biggest joint
activities is the ‘Gobi Wolf’ disaster response exercise and experience-sharing
event which we have been co-organizing with the United States Indo-Pacific Command
and Alaska National Guard since 2009. The event has been expanding year by year
in scope and efficiency with more and more national and international
participants. Preparations are underway to hold this year’s exercise in Dornogobi”.
It was also
noted that emergency officials, with support of the U.S. Embassy, constantly
participate in disaster response meetings, seminars, and exercises that take
place in the Unites States and Asia Pacific. Thus, the sides exchanged views on
the opportunities for supporting further upskilling of the emergency officials,
and involving them in short- and long-term vocational training and exercises.
