Mongolia and Italy to cooperate on preserving cultural heritage

Within the framework of the project, “Strengthening the Fight against the Illicit Trafficking of Cultural Objects,” carried out by Interpol and UNESCO, the specialists and officials of relevant ministries and agencies are attending a training session in Rome, Italy, to learn about and from the experiences of the Cultural Heritage Protection Department at Carabinieri, the National Military Police of Italy. The training is being conducted from April 9 to April 12.

The legislative organizations of Italy have accumulated a great deal of knowledge in preserving the country’s cultural heritage and in fighting against the illicit trafficking of cultural objects. The government of Mongolia is attaching great significance in expanding mutual cooperation with the government of Italy in these matters.

The Italian Carabinieri’s Department of Cultural Heritage Protection significantly contributed in the operation to transfer the Tyrannosaurus Bataar skeleton from the United States to Mongolia.
