Politics
Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. President of Mongolia Khaltmaagiin
Battulga submitted an official letter to the Cabinet regarding Oyu Tolgoi, and
underlined his intention to discuss the matter on the level of the National
Security Council.
The President stated: “To accommodate the common interests
of the country in the operations of Oyu Tolgoi project is the foremost
responsibility of the Mongolian Government.
Therefore, a proposal was submitted to the Cabinet, dated
December 23rd, 2020, on collaborating with the Cabinet through representatives
to exercise Presidential support for the Government’s position, policy and
actions towards the issues surrounding the ongoing lawsuits at international
arbitrary courts and other Oyu Tolgoi-related matters. The Cabinet’s inaction
regarding the proposal, since it has been submitted, has now become a matter of
concern.
The unconcerned, obscure and unlawful association of the
Cabinet to the head of state, who exercises the authority of leading the
National Security Council and answers to the people of Mongolia, leads to
suspicion that the authorities might be under direct or indirect influence of
those, who have serious conflicts of interest.”
President Battulga presented to Prime Minister Ukhnaagiin
Khurelsukh the official letter, which demands delivery of complete and
comprehensive documents on the Oyu Tolgoi issue to the President within January
18th, 2021.
