President Park Geun-hye met with Zandaakhuu Enkhbold, chairman of the State Great Hural, the Mongolian Parliament, on March 14 at Cheong Wa Dae, to discuss ways to boost cooperation between Korea and Mongolia.
President Park welcomed Chairman Enkhbold’s visit to Korea. She said close exchanges between Korea’s National Assembly and the Mongolian Parliament have greatly contributed to the development of bilateral ties between the two countries. The president further hoped that his visit will offer an opportunity for both countries to boost bilateral relations.
President Park told the Mongolian Speaker of the House to deliver her greetings to Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj. Mentioning the Mongolian president’s visit to North Korea last year, President Park said that President Elbegdorj’s visit to North Korea holds great significance as he urged Pyongyang to become a member of the international community.
During the meeting, President Park emphasized the importance of reunification on the Korean Peninsula, a needed step to achieve peace, stability and prosperity in Korea as well as across Northeast Asia. She told the Mongolian Speaker of the House that unification in Korea would provide new growth momentum for Northeast Asia and contribute greatly to the growth of its neighboring countries, including Mongolia. The president asked Mongolia to take an interest in and to support her efforts in this regard.
President Park explained to Chairman Enkhbold her ”Eurasian initiative,” in which the Korean government aims to maximize the potential of the Eurasian continent and help all regions therein to achieve growth and development. She asked Mongolia to take part in the initiative, as well.
Chairman Enkhbold responded with “200 percent support” for the initiative and expressed the possibility of linking the Eurasian and Northeast Asian railway construction projects, one of the Mongolian government’s current plans.
Enkhbold said that he believes President Park’s vision of laying the foundation for the peaceful unification of the Korean Peninsula will contribute to the development and prosperity of Northeast Asia. He added that President Elbegdorj would have wished to deliver his personal beliefs to his North Korean audience, as he himself has experienced both democracy and socialism.
