President proposes establishing fish farms in Mongolia

President Ts.Elbegdorj called on the head of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, Jacques Diouf, at FAO headquarters in Rome on Tuesday.

Diouf congratulated Elbegdorj on his successful visit to Italy and recalled his own visit to Mongolia.

Elbegdorj thanked Diouf for receiving him and noted the results of cooperative efforts between Mongolia and the FAO. The FAO has implemented projects and programs worth some USD 9 million in Mongolia since 1974.

Elbegdorj told Diouf that Mongolia would like to export wheat and animal products to Asia and the Pacific region, and he asked for the FAO’s assistance in that regard. Elbegdorj also said Mongolia would like to host the next meeting of the FAO’s Asia and Pacific branch, so the country can demonstrate its agricultural export possibilities.

Elbegdorj also suggested establishing fish farms in Mongolia, because the country has many clear rivers and lakes.

Diouf supported the president’s suggestion and said he would take time to study all the issues raised in the meeting. He added that the FAO is preparing its plan for the next four years, and that the president’s requests and suggestions would be taken into consideration.
