Concept
of sport law approved
By B. Khuder
Ulaanbaatar,
October 12 (MONTSAME) At its regular meeting on Saturday, the cabinet approved
a concept of the law on physical education and sport, considering as necessity
to alter its some clauses so as to keep a current success of our athletes and
develop public sports.
Adopted in
2003, the law on physical culture and sport was amended in 2007 for the
benefits the disabled and the national teams. Later, in 2009 and 2012, other
amendments were made to reflect new clauses--on accreditation, prize fund for
national and international tournaments, and in connection with a change of the
cabinet. Thanks to all these, Mongolia gave births to Olympic champions,
and the society's perception changed about physical culture and sports.
By the above
concept, the law should reflect clauses on letting NGOs manage specific
functions, on developing public sports by improving a quality and adequacy of
sports organizations and their kinds, and on updating the social welfare and
salaries for sports sector.
The cabinet
agreed that the current law should be named as “The law on sport” in accordance
with a principle of public sports maintained by the International Charter of
physical education and sport and the International Olympic Committee
(IOC).

We
mark national tree-planting day
By B.
Amarsaikhan
Ulaanbaatar,
October 13 (MONTSAME) According to the President's decree, issued on April 14
of 2010 on marking the national Tree Planting Day on the second Saturday of May
and of October each year, Mongolia on Saturday ran this action for the ninth
time to pant over 7 million trees.
The leader of
the country Ts.Elbegdorj contributed himself this Day on October 11, planting
trees in a garden of the Forestry Development Center in the city's Sukhbaatar
district and getting acquainted with a “UBT" company.
He
said:"Taking care and watering trees is more important than planting
trees. Planting and caring for trees is like raising a child. They need
everyday care. I would like to wish 'May trees of Mongolia grow many' like a
wish 'May children of Mongolia grow many'. A human consumes a significant
amount of air and water for a lifetime. A single tree can produce enough oxygen
to support several people. We should understand our nature. Trees were created
by the nature itself. Planting trees is our commitment and great contribution
to the world nature. I’m truly glad that the law-makers and policy-makers
joined this initiative, working with us."
During last
May's Day, Mr Elbegdorj noted that he had set himself the goal to plant three
million trees, for now he planted 20 thousand and prepared 500 thousand
saplings, reports Public Relations and Communications Division of the Office of
the President.

10th
Asia-Europe Meeting Summit to Take Place in Milan This Week
October 13
(infomongolia.com) On October 16-17, 2014, the 10th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM)
Summit will be held in Milan, Italy, hosted by the Italian Prime Minister
Matteo Renzi and co-chaired by the President of the European Council, Herman
van Rompuy, and the President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso.
The Summit will
be the key inter-regional Asia-Europe meeting in 2014, and, for the EU, an
opportunity to convey a strong message of commitment to Asia, including Mongolia.
This year marks
the 25th anniversary year of EU-Mongolia relations, which have grown and
deepened over the years, making Mongolia not only an economic partner, but a
valued political interlocutor. The EU will continue to work closely with
Mongolia, also in the ASEM framework, with a view to enhancing peace and
prosperity in the wider region.
The theme of
this year's 10th ASEM Summit, "Responsible Partnership for Sustainable
Growth and Security", reflects the enlarging scope of the EU-Asia
relationship. A key cross-cutting element of this year's Summit agenda is a
comprehensive Europe-Asia connectivity (through air, sea or land but also flow
of goods, services, investments, and people) - a powerful mobilizing concept
for further enhancement of Europe-Asia cooperation.
Regional and
international security issues will also be discussed (including inter alia
maritime security, piracy, nuclear security, social security, food security,
but also non-traditional security challenges), with a focus on both the
regional situation in Europe and Asia as well as in the broader neighbourhood
(Middle East, Africa).
Established in
1996, ASEM currently consists of 51 members and is a key forum for dialogue and
cooperation based on equal partnership, mutual respect and benefit between
Europe and Asia. It provides a platform to foster political dialogue (including
security issues), reinforce economic and trade cooperation and promote
partnership in various areas (including the environment, culture, education and
social issues). ASEM represents half of the world’s GDP, more than 60% of the
world’s population and around 60% of global trade. The growing number of
participants confirms the attractiveness of the ASEM process.
Beyond
government-level meetings, ASEM also brings together members of parliament
(Asia-Europe Parliamentary Partnership, ASEM, Rome held on October 06-07), the
business sector (Asia-Europe Business Forum, AEBF, Milan, October 15-16), civil
society (Asia-Europe People's Forum, Milan, October10-12), academia and media,
encouraging people-to-people contacts.
Mongolia joined
the ASEM in 2006 and become a member state in 2008 during the 7th ASEM Summit
held in Beijing, China that brought in another 5 new members including
Bulgaria, India, Pakistan, Romania, and the ASEAN Secretariat, increasing total
ASEM membership to 45 partners.
In September
2011, the 10th ASEM Conference of the Directors-General of Immigration focused
on the on the Role of Immigration Agencies was held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
The meeting was
aimed to promote exchange of information and experience between partners and to
foster effective collaboration, besides on combating against human trafficking
and Diaspora as specific issues for Mongolia and on labour migration.
In May 2012,
the 4th ASEM Environment Ministers' Meeting focused on the theme,
"Sustainable Water and Forest Management" was also took place in
Ulaanbaatar.
At this 10th
ASEM Summit, Mongolian delegates led by President Ts.Elbegdorj will be
attending, where heads of state and government of 49 member countries from Asia
and Europe will participate.
