Sebastian Gemkow, the Saxon State Minister for Science, Culture, and Tourism on

Mongolia has long established relations with
the Saxon state of Germany in sectors of culture, education, and economy.
Estimates show that Mongolia needs about 30 thousand engineers and technical
personnel in achieving its goals set in the mid and long-term development
policy and planning. In this regard, the Ministers discussed the possibility to
train at least one thousand of them in Germany, especially in the Saxon
state.
Mongolian universities work in close
cooperation with some universities of Saxon. One of them is the
German-Mongolian Institute for Resources and Technology. During the meeting,
the parties exchanged views on expanding the cooperation between universities
and introducing university management, and implementing sandwich programs in
the field of higher and vocational education of Mongolia, in cooperation with
the University of Freiburg.
Other issues covered during the talks were
introducing and localizing the German technologies through our professionals
studied in Germany, and training teachers and practitioners in Germany.
Mongolia and Germany will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2024. On the occasion of this anniversary, the Minister of Education and Science L. Enkh-Amgalan officially invited Minister Sebastian Gemkow to visit Mongolia at his convenience.
