The two interlocutors agreed on the lack of information and disinformation about our countries in other nations. They recognized the role of news agencies in projecting the image of their country in the world and of the world in their country, including through collaboration and exchange with other agencies.
To this end, both parties discussed specific actions to boost the implementation of the Cooperation Agreement between MONTSAME and Prensa Latina, signed in Ulaanbaatar, in February 2018. They agreed on the importance of mutual knowledge of the rich history, development and the cultural heritage of both countries.
The Mongolian agency MONTSAME was founded in 1921, 101 years ago, and has correspondents in Ulaanbaatar, in 21 provinces of Mongolia, Beijing and Moscow.
