ABOUT VISIT OF U.S HOUSE OF REPS DELEGATION
A delegation of the U.S. House of Representatives led by Chairman David Dreier visited Mongolia June 10-11, 2011 to engage with MPs as part of a series of ongoing exchanges through the House Democracy Partnership (HDP). The U.S. delegation included members of both political parties.
The HDP is a bipartisan, twenty-member commission of the U.S. House of Representatives that works directly with 13 partner countries around the world to support the development of effective, independent, and responsive legislative institutions. The HDP uses peer-to-peer exchange programs, training seminars for members and staff, and targeted material assistance to build capacity in key areas such as legislative oversight, budget analysis, committee operations, constituent relations, and library and research services.
The HDP delegation has met with the Parliament Speaker Demberel; chairmen of the parliamentary Standing Committees; leaders and staff of the Parliamentary Research Center, HDP program alumni, as well as an MP and constituents from the city's Bayanzurkh district. The meetings focused on exchanging ideas and experiences on strengthening democratic institutions and deepening U.S. Mongolia bilateral relations. The delegation also has met with the State Head Elbegdorj to discuss the political and economic situation in Mongolia and bilateral relations.
Regarding the visit of the HDP delegation to Mongolia, Mr. Dreier stated: "HDP has had a very productive partnership with the State Great Hural for many years, and this visit has helped to deepen and expand our cooperation. We're very encouraged by our Mongolian colleagues' commitment to develop their legislative institutions, and we clearly recognize the regional significance of their efforts and progress. The U.S. Congress continues to stand firmly with Mongolia in this endeavor,"
The Mongolian Parliament became a partner country with the HDP in 2006. Since then, more than 30 MPs and staff members from Mongolia have participated in HDP programs, and a similar number of Members of Congress and staff have visited Mongolia through HDP.
