Cooperation with U.S to Expand

Mongolia and the United States will expand their cooperation in democracy education and the mineral sector, officials from both sides said Friday.

“The United States confirmed that it will continue cooperating with Mongolia within the framework of democratic development and international cooperation,” the Mongolian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

Earlier a consultation was held here between Tsogtbaatar Damdin, foreign policy advisor to the Mongolian president, and the visiting U.S. delegation headed by Kurt Campbell, U.S. assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs.

In addition to cooperation in democracy education and some public sectors, the two sides also discussed Mongolia’s mineral sector in terms of a long-term trade growth, the environmental regulation and human development.

“The United States will continue supporting Mongolia’s development through currently undergoing projects of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Millennium Challenge Corporation,” U.S. representatives said.

USAID, Millennium Challenge Corporation and the U.S. government are currently implementing multi-million dollar development projects in Mongolia.
