Mongolia to cooperate with International Atomic Energy Agency

Mongolia is to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency. A middle-term technical cooperation program will be co-implemented by the Mongolian government and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The middle-term technical cooperation program aims to determine priority spheres and directions of the social and economic short- and middle-term development program between Mongolia and the IAEA. The program also becomes a basis for formulating concepts of the bilateral technical cooperation.

The middle-term technical cooperation program will be implemented with a financing from the IAEA in 2015-2019. The technical cooperation program envisages upgrading the techniques and facilities used in some public and scientific organizations for health, nuclear and radioactive control, agriculture, environment, geo ecology, nuclear physics, geology, mining and production. Since 1973, Mongolia and the IAEA have co-implemented 63 projects with over 13 million USD
