Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. On October 12, Director-General of MONTSAME News Agency B.Ganchimeg received Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to Mongolia O Sung Ho.

At the beginning of the meeting, Ms. Ganchimeg congratulated the Ambassador on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea.

She said, “MONTSAME Agency works closely with the Embassy of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Korea’s Central News Agency (KCNA). Every year, the news agencies exchange delegates, but this year the exchange was unable to be organized due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope everything will be fine soon. Our agency will keep working openly with the Embassy of the DPRK." Ms. Ganchimeg also noted that the DPRK had successfully responded to COVID-19 that shocked the world, and became one of the few countries with no community transmission.


For his part, Mr. O Sung Ho expressed gratitude to the agency for its constant support to the activities of the Embassy. The Ambassador emphasized, “The 75th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea has been recently celebrated. In addition, the 72nd anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and DPRK will be marked on October 15 this year. Over the past period, the Supreme Leader of DPRK Kim Il Sung visited Mongolia twice. Thanks to the close cooperation between Mongolia’s MONTSAME News Agency and North Korea’s Central News Agency, relations between the two countries and mutual understanding of the people have been strengthened.”

Mr. O Sung Ho also said that he hopes the relationship between the two organizations will expand further. “Since my appointment to Mongolia, I have met many people who have a warm and friendly impression about our country during my working trips in rural areas. Citizens of our country have always had a warm and congenial attitude towards Mongolia too. Therefore, the cooperation between MONTSAME and our Embassy is essential to develop friendly relations and cooperation that meet the congenial attitude of the people of the two countries.”
