Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia S.Amarsaikhan received
ADB Country Director for Mongolia Pavit Ramachandran, ADB Senior
Urban Development Specialist A.Heckmann and Ger areas development
project coordinator D.Avirmed. Over the past 28 years, the Asian Development Bank has issued a
total of USD 3.9 billion in funding to Mongolia by providing substantial
support in wide range of areas including education, health, society, economy,
infrastructure, urban planning, and green development aside from the assistance
during COVID-19 pandemic. Commending the timely implementation of appropriate measures in
the fight against the pandemic taken by Government of Mongolia and National
Emergency Commission Agency, which made it possible to move back to normal
life, recovering its economy, ADB Country Director for Mongolia Pavit
Ramachandran expressed commitment to expand the cooperation with Mongolia
and promote the ‘New Revival Policy’ being implemented by the Government. ADB expressed an interest to cooperate in projects and programs
including Satellite city to be established in Khushig Valley,
public transport modernization, as well as ‘Green
growth recovery’ and 'Urban and rural revival' to be implemented
in the framework of the ‘New Revival Policy’. “With the establishment of the Bayankhoshuu and Selbe
Sub-Centers, some works reflected in the affordable housing program are planned
to be realized and its construction work will be launched this spring. I
am pleased to inform that Bayankhoshuu and Selbe Sub-Centers project being
implemented within the framework of the ‘Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and
Ger Areas Development Investment Program’ (GADIP) has become international
benchmark. Further, the feasibility study for the ‘Rural development’ project
to be implemented in 8-9 aimags was approved and its financing was
resolved. Within the framework of the project, small and medium-sized
enterprises, including processing plants, will be promoted, creating more jobs
in the local areas. Therefore, it should be decided by the Government in which
aimags the project will be implemented,” said ADB Senior Urban
development Specialist A.Heckmann.
Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia S.Amarsaikhan
noted “We became able to move into ‘Yellow’ level thanks to the
five-phase strategy measures implemented by the Government and the support of
people during Covid-19 pandemic. I would like to express my appreciation to the
ADB for making valuable contribution in overcoming the Covid-19. We fully agree
with suggestions put forth by the ADB on the successful implementation of
projects and programs of the ‘New Revival Policy’. In particular, the
development of satellite cities is a priority to reduce the centralization and
traffic congestion of Ulaanbaatar city. Therefore, we are willing to
co-implement the projects and programs towards the establishment of
infrastructure, affordable housing and free economic zone.”
