He highlighted the political stability that ensures the protection of democracy, rule of law, and free market principles, noting that Mongolia is on the path of development and progress. He also mentioned one of the 14 mega-projects outlined in the government’s program—the uranium project that was agreed upon during the state visits of the President of Mongolia, U. Khurelsukh, and the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, in 2023. He further informed the ambassadors that the State Great Hural is making necessary amendments to the Nuclear Energy Law to accelerate the implementation of the project.

Deputy Speaker B.

He expressed confidence that the ambassadors would support and work on the successful realization of the project.

Ambassador Corinne Pereira Da Silva stressed that the Mongolia-France joint uranium project is crucial for advancing Mongolia’s economic and energy development and strengthening its independence. She expressed confidence that bilateral cooperation would continue to grow and expand in the future.

Ambassador Ina Marciulionyte noted that investors from European Union countries are closely monitoring the progress of the Mongolia-France joint uranium project and that it would become a major bridge for expanding cooperation between Mongolia and the European Union. She also introduced plans to organize a Mongolia-Europe business forum in 2025.
