SocietyUlaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs
B. Munkhjin held a meeting with authorities of the National Board of Trade and
Open Trade Gate of Sweden on the sideline of the 28th OSCE Ministerial
Council, which took place in Stockholm, Sweden on December 2-3. The parties
discussed the issue of increasing Mongolia’s export to European Union.
Noting that despite the fact that mining predominates in the
Mongolian economy, the country aims to add value to agricultural raw materials to
increase its exports of end-products that meet international quality, Deputy
Minister B.Munkhjin thanked the Open Trade Gate for working to organize a
special training in this direction for Mongolian businesses in the first half
of 2022 with a purpose to support entry of Mongolian wool and cashmere products
into the EU and Sweden markets.
The Open Trade Gate informed that within the preparations
for a special training on exporting wool and cashmere products from Mongolia to
the European Union, especially the Swedish market, it is working to conduct a
detailed study of the Swedish domestic market, develop a training module and formulate
a business plan. In preparation for the special training, it was decided to
organize a second online meeting with the Mongolian Wool and Cashmere
Association and producers in January 2022.
