Tony Blair greets Mongolia
Tony Blair, former British Prime Minister, sent a greeting during the annual ‘Economic Forum’ that Mongolia held annually.
The main purpose of the Economic Forum was to discuss privatising much of Mongolia’s native resources and industry
He said “Mongolia is seen around the world today as a flagship for Central Asia, having successfully navigated the peaceful transition to democracy and a market economy. My view has become all the more impressive given Mongolia’s tough geography and climate. So, the critical challenge facing Mongolia now is turning the minerals in the ground into equitable sustainable growth. That is going to be big challenge. We all know that there are many examples around the world of instances where resources have ended up becoming either a curse or blessing for a country. There is no better time than now for Mongolia to learn from the experiences and lessons of other countries so that it can get it right first time. I have no doubt that Mongolia will succeed, and that it will become the world’s next great growth success story”.
