MPs criticize government for refusing to renegotiate Oyutolgoi agreement
The 20 MPs who demanded changes in the Oyutolgoi mining agreement are speaking out against the government’s announcement that it will not attempt to renegotiate the two-year-old agreement. On Thursday the government and the mine’s developers, Ivanhoe and Rio Tinto, issued a joint statement saying “all parties have reaffirmed their continued support for the Investment Agreement and its implementation.”
D.Baldan-Ochir, Ts.Davaasuren, Ts.Shinebayar, N.Batbayar, Ts.Batbayar, Z.Enkhbold, D.Gankhuyag, and B.Bat-Erdene, who are among the 20 MPs demanding changes in the agreement, held a press conference at the Government House on Friday.
The MPs disputed the assertions of the president, prime minister, and speaker that Mongolia’s international reputation had been hurt by the MPs demand for changes in the agreement. By issuing a joint statement with “foreign organizations,” the MPs say the government is “violating Mongolia’s interests.”
The MPs said they would continue to work for the Mongolian people, and not for the interests of foreign organizations.
