PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A delegation led by D.Battulga, a head of the Citizens’ Representative Khural (Council) of Ulaanbaatar city, is paying a visit to Bangkok of Thailand.
On February 2, the delegation met with Mr Sukhumbhand Paribatra, the governor of Bangkok, and General Kanintorn Wongsarojana, First Vice Chairman of Bangkok Metropolitan Council, to consider ways of cooperation between the two sister cities.
Such ties were established in 1999, while direct contacts and cooperation have been markedly intensified, especially in recent years.
In the course of the talks, the sides noted that over the past period Ulaanbaatar and Bangkok councils exchanged delegations on a regular basis, "and this enabled us to share experiences in urban development". The sides also expressed a mutual satisfaction with a successful implementation of memorandums of understanding on Youth Exchange Programs and Cooperation in Health Sector concluded between the two city councils in 2014, and agreed to strengthen their collaboration in these areas.
