MONGOLIA AND S.KOREA TO COOPERATE IN LAND REHABILITATION

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Mongolia will have own training center that prepares and enforces experts who will perform mining rehabilitation. It will be established through a project on fortifying the management of reducing negative effects of the mining, which will be co-implemented by Mongolia’s Ministry of Environment and Green Development and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) between 2014 and 2018. The project was certified in a cooperation protocol signed by Ms S.Oyun, the Minister of Environment and Green Development, and Mr Choi Heung Yool, the KOICA Permanent Representative to Mongolia on Wednesday. In general, the sides will collaborate in minimizing negative impact of the mining on environment, introducing environmentally-friendly mining, refining a legal area for this rehabilitation. It is expected also that the project will give a chance to perform a model rehabilitation on the places where the rehabilitation has not been done yet. In frames of the KOICA’s non-refundable aid, the project will be realized under USD 7.6 million financing.
