Mongolia and the United States concerning the Transparency of International
Trade and Investment between the countries. However, some politicians are
concerned if the agreement is in alignment with the national interest of
Mongolia. It has been said that MPRP group in the parliament requested a
discussion on the issue. The agreement was originated back in 2007 when
Mongolia requested to establish a free-trade agreement. In return, the
U.S. responded with the agreement. The agreement requires that interested

is being discussed in the parliament. Also, the opinions will be required
to be accepted in English. Moreover, the laws must be translated into English

the parliament remains open.
