MEMBER OF THE STATE GREAT KHURAL (PARLIAMENT) OF MONGOLIA,

AT THE ASIA-EUROPE PARLIAMENTARY PARTNERSHIP MEETING,

ROME, ITALY

/October 7, 2014/

 

Mr. Chairman,

Colleagues,

Ladies and gentlemen,

It is an honor for me to be here in Rome, attending the Asia-Europe Parliamentary Partnership Meeting. I would like to join my colleagues in expressing my deepest gratitude to the government of Italy for successfully hosting this meeting with great hospitality and warmth. I am pleased to see such a large number of high-level representatives from Member States. Your attendance underlines the importance of this Meeting.

As a member of the Asia-Europe Meeting, we share a view that by addressing political, economic and cultural issues, we will be able to meet the ASEM objective – strengthening the relationship between our two regions, in a spirit of mutual respect and equal partnership.

I am confident that the discussions and talks here at this Meeting, including of adoption of laws and regulations by member countries aimed to easing the boarder barriers, free flow of goods, services, investment and transport infrastructure would serve its purpose and help to gradually achieve equal development opportunities, sustainable development and shared prosperity in Asia-Europe region.

Making full use of its location Mongolia could become a bridge, connecting Asia and Europe since the closest route linking Eurasia is through Mongolia. With its strategically important location, Mongolia could be an important partner within Eurasia and ‘Silk road Initiative’, and strengthen our connectivity with the Asia-Europe countries by expanding cooperation in logistics and transport infrastructure.

The Parliament of Mongolia has been taking several measures to improve business environment and investment conditions in Mongolia, so that both the host and the investors find mutually profitable projects to develop in the country.

It gives me a great pleasure to inform that the Parliament of Mongolia applied to host the Asia-Europe Parliamentary Partnership Meeting in Ulaanbaatar in 2016. I am confident that visiting my beautiful country and getting acquainted with the Mongolian culture and custom, you will understand what Mongolia can do for development of Asia-Europe connectivity.

Thank you for your attention.
