PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ In the morning of the first day of Lunar Monkey Year (February 9), the Prime Minister Ch.Saikhanbileg visited Mr Dashiin Byambasuren, a former prime minister of Mongolia, at his home. The Mongolians have a tradition of visiting elders on the new year’s first day and hear the words of wisdom.
The dignitaries shared views on the successes and failures occurred in the passing Year of the Sheep, on the organizing of important events which will take place this year.
Former PM D.Byambasuren thanked Premier Ch.Saikhanbileg for paying the visit and said he has 14 grandchildren and receives more than a hundred guests during the Tsagaan Sar.
In 1989, D.Byambasuren was the last prime minister of the People’s Republic of Mongolia. After the democratic revolution of the Year of the White Horse (1990), Mongolia got a deal of 320 million USD of non-refundable aid from Japan and the World Bank thanks to his efforts. He also launched the first liberization of prices in Mongolia’s emerging market economy.
