Members of the State Great Hural Mr. G.Damdinnyam and Ms. Kh.Bulgantuya have pledged their support and active participation in the campaign.


The conference participants have unanimously voiced and shared their experiences as an effort to mitigate the impact of the crisis on youth and contribute to a youth-responsive, effective and sustainable recovery from global crisis and they have recognized that parliaments need the participation and leadership of their young members, as well as a strong intergenerational partnership between their young and senior members.


The conference will generate debates under 4 topics as Youth participation; Defining youth-responsive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic; Developing education system; Strengthening health service; and will produce an outcome document which will constitute a rapport contributing to the 142 IPU Assembly which will be convened in May 2021 under the theme of “Overcoming the pandemic today and building a better tomorrow: the role of parliaments”.
