President Duda to discuss economic ties, global security in Mongolia www.tvpworld.com

Polish President Andrzej Duda, along with the First Lady, are beginning their official visit to Mongolia. The Polish head of state will talk with the government in Ulaanbaatar mostly about economic relations and global security.
Marcin Przydacz, the head of the President’s Office of International Policy, said that Andrzej Duda will present the Polish perspective on the Russian aggression against Ukraine. “The President has great respect for the geopolitical conditions and choices of each country, including Mongolia. Nevertheless, he will convey our perspective. We hope it will be accepted and understood,” he added.
However, contacts between Warsaw and Ulaanbaatar mainly concern the economy, as well as cultural and academic relations. The Polish-Mongolian business forum is going to be inaugurated by the Presidents of both countries.
“We want to convince our Mongolian partners that this cooperation should not be limited to raw materials but should include methods and technologies for their extraction based on Polish experience. The second important sector will be the food industry,” said Przydacz.
Poland is the second largest exporter to Mongolia among the EU countries and in 2021 was the seventh largest globally.
Furthermore, during the visit to Ulaanbaatar, President Duda will officially open the Polish Embassy and speak at the Mongolian University, where he will be awarded an honorary doctorate.

Mongolia refinery to be built by India by 2025 www.currentaffairs.adda247.com

Mongolia will have its first oil refinery up and running by 2025. The first phase of the $1.2 billion Indian soft loan-funded Mongol Oil Refinery will be finished by the end of the year. Given that Russia is the only source of energy imports for Mongolia, the development has strategic ramifications.
Mongolia refinery to be built by India by 2025: Key Points
The refinery will enable Mongolia to satisfy 70% of its domestic demand.
According to the nation’s ambassador, Dambajav Ganbold, the first oil refinery in Mongolia, which is being constructed on the outskirts of the capital city of Ulaanbaatar with funding from India, would be finished by 2025.
Mongolia also intends to entice investment from India in its mining and metals industries with intentions to start shipping coking coal to India by 2024.
What all Mongolia have to offer?
Important rare earth metals are also found in Mongolia, which may be essential to India’s plans to develop cutting-edge technical capabilities in semiconductors and sustainable transportation.
Indian businesses have already travelled to Mongolia to investigate these possibilities. It is anticipated that regular direct flights between Mongolia and India will be established in order to enable these exchanges.
India is Mongolia’s significant “third neighbour” in this area. This is one of the foreign policy’s key ideas, and it first came up because of Mongolia’s two large neighbours, Russia and China.
So, in order for Mongolia to be an independent state, it is needed to establish contact with a third neighbour.
This provides Mongolia the chance to expand and strengthen collaboration both locally and globally.
Since Prime Minister Modi’s historic visit to Mongolia in 2015, the governments have agreed to build the country’s first oil refinery.
This refinery project, which comprises four packages, is currently in full swing.
Right now, the first package, or EPC 1, is more than 70% finished, and it will be finished this year.
Following the tender procedure for the final three packages, Hyderabad-based Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited was chosen.
Mongolia’s Independence and energy security will increase thanks to the refinery

Edinburgh Cashmere set for Mongolian production boost www.heraldscotland.com

The owner of Edinburgh Cashmere is set to boost production after signing a partnership with with an unnamed manufacturer in Mongolia.
Described as one of the East Asian country's largest luxury textiles producers, the factory is expected to produce up to one million cashmere and lambswool products for Edinburgh Cashemere on an annual basis. Didar Singh Chalana, who set up the Scottish business nine years ago, said the value of these goods will be between £5 million and £10m per year.
The factory is described as using the latest state-of-the-art machinery and techniques, with raw materials sourced sustainably and ethically. Mr Chalana, also known as DC Singh, said the venture will allow Edinburgh Cashmere to keep up with ever-increasing demand.
Born in Punjab, India, Mr Chalana has a background in wholesaling. He was working in Edinburgh’s Royal Mile in 2008 when he first got the idea for setting up his own cashmere company.
He incorporated the business in 2014 and started working to develop a range of designs, including a collection of cashmere clan scarves. He has supplied products wholesale into the UK, France, Italy, the US and Japan, and started selling own-branded products online in 2021.

US Ambassador to Mongolia Discusses Diversity, Inclusion in Foreign Service www.thehoya.com

The U.S. Ambassador to Mongolia Richard Buangan discussed his experience representing the United States as a Filipino American, the importance of authenticity and the significance of nuance in public diplomacy at a Georgetown University event April 11.
The Institute for the Study of Diplomacy, a part of the School of Foreign Service that explores diplomatic statecraft, co-hosted the event with the Una Chapman Cox Foundation’s American Diplomacy Project, an initiative that seeks to shape the future of the U.S. foreign service.
Buangan said his identity as a Filipino American has shaped his approach to diplomacy.
“I was born and raised in San Diego, Calif.,” Buangan said at the event. “I am a proud American. I had the privilege of growing up in various multicultural neighborhoods and experiencing the cultural aspect that really speaks to our values as a diverse country.”
Buangan said his experiences have helped him better understand the importance of diversity in diplomacy.
“When I was a public affairs officer in Jerusalem, one of the things I always talked about is how powerful it is to have a story of uniting diverse individuals together to serve a common goal of serving the country,” Buangan said. “A common goal is to share the values that make us great so that others overseas can also partake in the richness and diversity of their existence.”
Buangan said he has experienced bias and discrimination abroad because of his identity but never maliciously.
“Interestingly, it’s always been accidental bias and discrimination,” Buangan said. “In a way, those experiences really explain why we need a diverse foreign and civil service, and for those who serve the American people or do public service, diversity is really our strength.”
Buangan said he is hopeful that the U.S. Department of State will continue improving its staff in terms of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA).
“I think we’ve made tremendous progress,” Buangan said. “When I first joined, there was no such thing as DEIA. It was only an interest, not an intentional strategy to diversify our ranks. Over the past decade, we are diversifying more than we have ever been. It speaks well to our recruiters who are actively identifying possible employees across the country, not only just the Northeast.”
Buangan said that when he was a junior officer, there was no recourse for when he felt hostility from someone in a senior position. Now, there are resources available to employees who are dealing with hostile superiors.
“I was always told to shut up, don’t say anything,” Buangan said. “But over the last few years, the department has done a very good job of being able to articulate employees’ rights and supervisors’ responsibilities of creating an ethical, welcoming environment. That is something that did not exist when I joined the foreign service.”
Buangan said it is important for diplomats to be authentic and to represent their country and its people through nuanced conversations about controversial issues.
“You are still an American,” Buangan said. “You still should find moments where you can say, ‘As an American, I personally have a problem with the Second Amendment, gun control or issues happening in the newspaper.’ When you talk from personal experience, you can find a way to still talk about the official U.S. government policy.”
Buangan said public diplomacy is important for shaping the perception of the United States abroad.
“Public diplomacy, for me, is engaging with non-government people about aspects of the United States, that include who we are as people, the values we champion and U.S policies relating to the current administration,” Buangan said.“Ultimately, what it’s about is engaging, informing and creating an impact on the perception of foreign audiences in the United States, official and unofficial.”

Inner Mongolia ranks first in China in afforestation www.xinhuanet.com

Among activities to mark the annual Earth Day on Saturday, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region launched a tree-planting campaign to strengthen a green belt that besieges the Hunshandake Sandland, the closest threat to the national capital of Beijing.
The regional forestry and grassland department Saturday mobilized more than 100 volunteers to plant spruce trees in the green belt, stretching 420 km long with a width ranging from one to 10 km in the sandy land, about 180 km to the north of Beijing.
Over the past ten years, Inner Mongolia has added more than 10 million mu (about 666,667 hectares) of afforestation and 30 million mu of grass on average every year, ranking first in China, said Ma Qiang, deputy director of the department at the tree-planting activity.
Home to four of the country's major deserts and four major sandy areas, Inner Mongolia stands at the forefront of China's afforestation and sand control work.
In the last ten years, Inner Mongolia has completed 12 million mu of sand control programs on average every year, accounting for more than 40 percent of the country's total desertification control work in the corresponding period, said Ma.
