After negotiating with the Consulting Company, we plan to submit the project to the spring session of the State Great Khural." The Minister also emphasized that although members of the State Great Khural have various opinions about the National Satellite Project, the Government of Mongolia is determined to move the project forward. Therefore, the Minister requested the Embassy of France in Mongolia to cooperate in providing accurate information to the members of the State Great Khural and the public.
