the Governor of the Capital City and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar Kh. Nyambaatar received a delegation led by the UK Minister of State at the Department for Business and Trade, Minister of State for the Investment Security Unit, and Minister for Industry and Economic Security Nusrat Ghani. At the Meeting, the two sides discussed further cooperation and upcoming projects. The Mayor of Ulaanbaatar Kh. Nyambaatar said, "Ulaanbaatar city was planned for a population of 500,000-600,000, but today it has a population of 1.7 million. As a result, the city faces pressing problems, such as air pollution and traffic congestion. To address these problems, we have submitted a Law on Alleviating Traffic Congestion and Constructing Comfortable Apartments in the Ger Districts to the Government of Mongolia. The adoption of this Law will create an opportunity to replan the Ger Districts and tackle air pollution and traffic jams. We are planning the works to be carried out to resolve these issues." The UK Minister of State at the Department for Business and Trade, Minister of State for the Investment Security Unit Nusrat Ghani noted, “The UK has a wealth of experience, research, and feasibility studies in public transport. We are therefore well-positioned to cooperate in the field of reducing air pollution and addressing traffic jams, replanning of the Ger Districts, and can offer additional sources of funding.” The two parties affirmed their willingness to continue exchanging views on future cooperation and upcoming projects.
