Seeking to improve ties with
Mongolia, Canadian Trade Minister David Emerson will visit Mongolia,
as well as China, this week.
Emerson’s visit to Mongolia
is the first by a senior Canadian minister in a decade. While in Ulaanbaatur,
he will meet President Nambaryn Enkhbayar, Prime Minister Sanj Bayar
and senior ministers to discuss Canada’s trade and investment interests.
Due to the large number of
mining companies located in Canada, the North American country has become
one of the largest investors in Mongolia. Observers see the visit as
an indication of Canada’s growing importance as a partner to mineral-rich
Mongolia.
Emerson will also visit China
and Hong Kong during this trip to Asia.
