(Ulaanbaatar MONTSAME-Yonhap) On Wednesday, a signing ceremony of extended agreement on cooperation between MONTSAME National News Agency and the Yonhap News Agency of the Republic of Korea was held at the office of the MONTSAME news agency.
The agreement extension has been previously inked by President and CEO of Yonhap Mr Park No-hwang and has been sent to the MONTSAME Director-General Mr A.Baatarkhuyag on the 8th of July.
Present at the signing ceremony were the foreign relations manager Ms Kim Su Jin and the political analyst Mr An Yong Soo.
The cooperation between the news Agencies started on June 14 of 1985, when a director of Yonhap Agency in charge of articles Mr Chun Chon sent Olympic Games program and some survey materials to the then-director of MONTSAME Mr L.Zantav. The cooperation has been expanding since then.
On the further perspectives of the cooperation, Mr A.Baatarkhuyag said that there had been a difficult situation due to the Cold War era, but now the cooperation has been prospering since the 1990’s. “The extension of agreement manifests the common interests of both agencies to develop the cooperation and relations. We have a possibility to closely cooperate, since we do not have any conflict of interest”, he noted.
