Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. Bulgan soum of Umnugovi province has
established a sister city relationship with Auzas city of southern France in the
framework of deepening relations and cooperation between local communities both
in Mongolia and France.
Emphasizing local community cooperation, the parties have mutually agreed to implement the student exchange programme in 2022, and the
students of Bulgan soum of Umnugovi province paid a visit to the French Republic from May 23 to June 3, 2022, upon the invitation of the
school Salies du Salat to be enrolled in the exchange programme.
A total of seven students of 6th, 7th, 8th and
9th grades from Bulgan secondary school participated in the exchange
programme, attending different social, sport and educational activities, taking classes together with their French peers, making local tours,
and living in a French host family.
At the end of their programme, Ms Nyamkhuu Ulambayar,
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Mongolia to France, received the
students and the school authorities in Paris and talked the benefits of the
exchange programme they had, and opportunities for further cooperation and
exchange on receiving French teachers and students next year in Mongolia. The
students fully enjoyed in making friends who speak different languages and in
culture, introducing their own history and culture, sharing their stories and
opinions and talking dreams with their peers, and were very satisfied with rich
exchange programme that enriched their lives and visions.
The Ambassador expressed her satisfaction for such
successful implementation of the school exchange programme within the
development of relations and cooperation between Mongolia and France, and noted
that it was not impossible to realize this project without the kind efforts and
contributions of many different stakeholders.
On behalf of the Mongolian students, she expressed her
gratitude to Mr René Savelli, honorary mayor of Auzas city, Mr Philippe
Mouchet, principal of Salies du Salat college, teachers, staff, host families,
children, and H.E. Mr Sébastien Surun, Ambassador of France to Mongolia as well
