ULAANBAATAR PROCESS FOR DIALOGUE IN NORTHEAST ASIA KICKS OFF

The “Security of Northeast Asia” roundtable meeting commenced on November 14 in the Consensus Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The meeting is being organized by the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) and the pro-nuclear-weapon-free-status “Tsenkher Suld” NGO.

As a result of the consistent cooperation and commitments by the non-governmental pro-peace organizations of Mongolia along with the countries of the Northeast Asian region, the sides agreed on the fact that Ulaanbaatar is the most suitable venue to hold meetings on security, particularly, the nuclear safety issue of this region, said Dr D.Myagmar, Ph.D. and executive director of Tsenkher Suld.

The meeting on the security of Northeast Asia is being organized in Ulaanbaatar for the third year in a row. This year, a delegation from a peace organization of North Korea is taking part. Also, the experts from South Korea, Japan, China, Russia, the USA and Mongolia are gathered to consider the nuclear safety of the region, he said.

Participants of the meeting are exchanging ideas and their views on feasibilities of establishing another nuclear-weapon-free-zone within the region and Mongolia’s role in it.

The roundtable meeting will complete on November 16.
