‘Global Peace Festival 2011’ to be Held In Mongolia

Mongolia is to be the site of a peace festival and conference, an event in August that will be attended by officials from around the world.

Officials from the United States, Japan, South Korea, China, Russia and Mongolia are expected to meet in Ulan Bator in August to discuss Mongolia’s role in peace efforts in the region, conference organizers announced Friday.

Mongolia has diplomatic relations with Pyongyang and the meeting is expected to propose diplomatic initiatives, such as educational and sports exchanges, to open North Korea to its neighbors.

The conference will be part of the Global Peace Festival 2011 which will be held from August 25th -27th in Mongolia and is to be attended by President Ts. Elbegdorj among others.

The festival also marks the centenary of Mongolia’s restored independence. Mongolia, which has vast resources of coal and mineral deposits, is attracting a growing stream of U.S visitors. U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are expected to travel to the country this year.
