/MONTSAME/ Since 2001, Ulaanbaatar city administration and Hokkaido Prefectural
Government have been jointly implementing the ‘Green Ulaanbaatar’ project in
three phases with support from Japan International Cooperation Agency. The
project will wrap up this September. In connection with this, implementers of
the project introduced its outcomes to D.Munkhjargal who is in charge of the
capital city's projects on air and environmental pollution and other relevant
officials.
Under the
project, over 300 employees of the capital city’s gardening department and National
Garden Park underwent capacity-building training, learning the methods for
planting trees from seed or branch cuttings in spring and fall, maintaining and
watering them, as well as the characteristics, growth, and diseases of the trees
suitable for Mongolia. Those who showed remarkable achievement received additional training in
Japan, emphasized the project implementers.
After the meeting, the staff who underwent the training and project implementers planted sakuras brought from Japan in the National Garden Park. The tree planting event was participated by Japanese delegates led by Hokkaido legislative assembly member and honorary president of the project implementation committee Ryuichi Kita and Cultural envoy of Mongolia to Osaka and chair of the project implementation committee Sato Noriko, as well as Mongolian representatives headed by MP B.Saranchimeg and Ms. D.Munkhjargal.
