Embassy of Belarus Opens in Mongolia
Ulaanbaatar,
August 6 (MONTSAME) The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the
Republic of Belarus Mr Stanislav Chepurnoi Wednesday presented his diplomatic
credentials to the President Ts.Elbegdorj.
At the same
time, the Embassy of Belarus opened in Ulaanbaatar becoming the third Embassy
of one of the former Soviet Union’s Republics. Mr Chepurnoi has become the 21st
Ambassador to Mongolia.
At the meeting
after the presentation, Mr Elbegdorj said the Mongolia-Belarus relations have
been intensifying, gaining positive changes since a visit of the Belarusian PM
to Mongolia in 2013.
By the intergovernmental
talks, our countries have managed to resolve many issues which had not been
touched for many years. The opening of the Embassy of Belarus in Mongolia as
well as the appointment of the Ambassador mean that Belarus attaches great
importance to the relations with Mongolia,"this is a clear example of
expanding the ties," Mr Elbegdorj emphasized.
Expressing
gratitude to the President for the audience, Mr Chepurnoi affirmed that the
bilateral relations have been boosting in recent years, and added that a
frequency of high-level mutual visits is increasing thanks to forming a legal
environment for the cooperation.
The Ambassador
invited again the Mongolian President to Belarus hoping that this will
significantly contribute not only to the bilateral political ties, but also to
the economic and trade cooperation. Mr Chepurnoi also said his country wants to
expand the agricultural cooperation with Mongolia "because Mongolians know
well the Belarus-made agricultural machines and techniques".
"We want
to cooperate with Mongolia in supplying hi tech products, vehicles, road and
construction technologies. We already have started working out specific
projects and programmes on the cooperation after the visit of our Prime
Minister to Mongolia. The opening of the Embassy is vital to the realization of
these plans," Mr Chepurnoi said.
Appreciating
proposals on setting up joint factories and enterprises, the leader of Mongolia
said the Belarus-made machines and techniques are needed here because our
mining, industry and agricultural sectors are expected to boost. He hoped that
Mongolia will become a bridge for Belarus to penetrate the Asian market.
