Mongolian leaders, Kyrgyz PM meet on ties

ULAN BATOR, July 8 (Xinhua) -- Mongolian leaders held talks with visiting Kyrgyz Prime Minister Djoomart Otorbaev here on Tuesday, with both sides vowing to boost bilateral cooperation in various fields.

"Exchanges of relevant delegations, especially parliament members, between our two countries to share experiences is significant," Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj said.

He also made a brief introduction on Mongolia's democratic election, saying an effective system for voter registration and automated election is important for a just, fair vote.

Otorbaev, who arrived here Tuesday for a five-day working visit, said Kyrgyzstan is willing to learn from Mongolia's experience in democratic election and market economy.

Mongolia's model of democracy is more fitting to Kyrgyzstan as the two countries have many similarities in tradition, lifestyle, culture and history, he added.

Moreover, Otorbaev said, Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan have a good opportunity to cooperate in such fields as mining, animal husbandry and tourism.

Earlier in the day, the prime minister also met his Mongolian counterpart, Noroviin Altanhuyag, and parliament speaker Zandaakhuu Enkhbold.

During the meetings, both sides agreed to boost trade and economic relations between the two countries, especially imports and exports of their relevant local products such as wool, cashmere, sugar and berries.
