The Head of the MONTSAME national news agency Mr A.Baatarkhuyag Friday met a visiting delegation headed by Mr Kim Chang Gwang, the Director-General of the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) from Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
The guest said the collaboration between the two national news agencies has been intensifying and underlined an importance of "exchanging news and information through a high-speed access, especially of true and objective pieces of news ". He hoped that the news exchange will reach a targeted volume, and said the two agencies can exchange young journalists beginning from the next year.
To this, Mr Baatarkhuyag said Mongolia is the democratic country, but unobjective news about it has been spreading by some foreign news agencies and websites, "so it is necessary to get information about any country from this country's national news agency". The MONTSAME aspires to refresh its ties with the biggest agencies and to establish new ties, he added.
Mr Baatarkhuyag also emphasized an importance of delivering objective news for the interests of not only bilateral ties, but also for inter-citizen relations. Then the sides shared views on intensifying the bilateral agreement.
The two national news agencies began the cooperation in 1954. In 2013, the MONTSAME's Director-General Baatakhuyag visited Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and signed a new cooperation contract.
