Minister of Culture Ch. Nomin received Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) to Mongolia Mr. Philip Malone on March 30. During the meeting, the sides exchanged views on Mongolian policy on cultural and creative industry and cooperation opportunities in line with the policy. For instance, the sides discussed establishing an intergovernmental agreement to jointly produce a movie as Mongolia has approved the Law on Promoting Film Industry. Moreover, the Minister of Culture highlighted some cultural projects that require close collaboration with the UK, a leader in the world's cultural and creative industry, under the Mongolian policy on the cultural and creative industry. One of them is an epic Mongolian drama “Throne without a Seal” which will be staged in the London Coliseum Theater under the name “The Mongol Khan” in November 2023. To that extent, the Minister of Culture asked for the Ambassador’s support on this project, and to closely cooperate. In addition, the Mongolian National Museum and the Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit of the Department of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge have signed the Memorandum of Understanding, enabling bilateral cooperation in Mongolian studies and sciences, joint research, and exchanges of researchers. Under the MoU, a special exhibition with the theme “Mongolian Shamanic Tradition” is going to be displayed in Ulaanbaatar in September 2023. Besides the selected objects from the collection of the Mongolian National Museum, photographs, videos, archival materials, and other historical documents kept in the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology of the University of Cambridge, such as collections of Mongolian historical photographs taken by Owen Lattimore and Ethel Lindgren, will be displayed at the exhibition.
