Ulaanbaatar
Day of ASEM to be celebrated here
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The Day of Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) will be celebrated this March 1 in Mongolia for the first time.
Such a decision was made during the Annual Foreign Ministerial Meeting of ASEM held last year in Luxembourg. As the host of the 11th ASEM Summit and the organizer of the 20th anniversary of the ASEM, a working group for the ASEM preparation on media and propaganda decided at its meeting on Tuesday to celebrate the event with a key purpose of providing domestic and foreign media with information about the ASEM’s history, prospects and characteristics.
In frames of this celebration, a ceremony will run to open an information center at the MONTSAME news agency that will deliver information to the domestic media and people about the Summit’s preparation. Moreover, a video lesson will be given to pupils, and a TV discussion will run themed “ASEM in Mongolia”.
Some countries also intend to organize events on the occasion of the ASEM’s anniversary, for example, Thailand will mount an exhibition March 1-6, and the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs--a discussion dedicated to the jubilee.
