MONTSAME Agency Director meets DPRK Ambassador
SocietyUlaanbaatar/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.”
