MONGOLIANS’ UNIONS AND NGOS ABROAD TO GATHER

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A unified forum themed “Creative collaboration” will run September 18 in Ulaanbaatar. Co-organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the “E-station union” NGO, the upcoming forum will bring together delegates of Mongolians’ unions, societies and NGOs abroad to discuss issues of co-tackling urgent problems facing Mongolians abroad, rendering state support to the organizations for them and seeking an opportunity and mechanism of developing the collaboration between the state and NGOs. The organizers say the measure is important in terms of establishing close ties between the President, parliament, government and NGO and societies and unions of Mongolians residing across the world, of receiving their voice, and of inheriting Mongolian language, culture and custom to the next generations. The forum is expected to attract some 90 delegates of Mongolians’ unions, societies and NGOs; about 50 reporters and researchers from the “E-station union” NGO; and 130-150 officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and related institutions.
