/MONTSAME/. The State Visit of President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa to the
Italian Republic is ongoing.
The President noted that the FAO
has continuously made valuable contributions to Mongolia’s food and agriculture
sector.
In the FAO’s Book of Honorable Guests,
President Khurelsukh wrote, “I am delighted to be visiting the Food and
Agriculture Organization, the coordinating body of nations’ efforts in reducing
famine and poverty and strengthening food supply and safety. With sincere
congratulations on the FAO's 80th anniversary, I extend my best wishes in achieving
the Sustainable Development Goals.
With a nomadic culture and
rangeland pastoralism, Mongolia’s intentions aim at extensive cooperation in rangeland
management, preserving land and water supplies, increasing stable food
production, and reducing the negative impacts of climate change.
Within the framework of the Resolution on the
International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, we are committed to collaborating on tangible endeavors aligned with the interests and needs of the public worldwide.
May your aspirations toward 'Better
production; Better nutrition; Better environment; Better life' be fulfilled. May
humanity prosper in a healthy and safe environment.”
Mongolia became a member of the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which operates in over 130
countries, in 1973. The FAO Representative Office in Ulaanbaatar was
established in 2009.
The organization’s main operations
focus on contributing to the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals 2030
in Mongolia by ensuring food safety, improving nutrition, and improving the
living conditions of locals.
Moreover, the FAO works with sponsoring partners, research institutions, civil society, and herder communities, playing a crucial role in advancing sustainable agriculture, safeguarding the environment, and preserving biodiversity.
