Vice Speaker attends IPU Assembly
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ One of the Vice Speakers of parliament L.Tsog addressed the 133rd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) which is running in Geneva of Switzerland.
Mr Tsog stressed that this year’s Assembly is a timely action because it allows MPs from 130 countries to discuss problems about refugees and migrants. "The root of these issues can be found through reaching the goals that were adopted by the 70th session of the UN General Assembly for sustainable development until 2030," he stressed.
He also underlined an importance of the 2015 Autumn Session of the OSCE PA that was held under a theme “Role of parliamentarians in strengthening regional cooperation” in September in Ulaanbaatar to consider important issues of the regional security, terrorism, combating human trafficking, refugees, human rights, media freedom, religion and gender freedom.
He said Mongolia will host the 9th Asia-Europe Parliamentary Partnership (ASEP9) Meeting in April 21-22 of 2016, ahead of the 11th ASEM Summit.
L.Tsog has been accompanied by L.Bold and Ch.Khurelbaatar MPs, and Ts.Narantungalag, a head of the External Relations Section of the Parliamentary Office.
The 133rd IPU Assembly is to conclude on Wednesday.
