 Mongolia may invite Russia
to assist in the mining and processing of uranium, according to Prime
Minister S. Bayar. Additionally, Mongolia may even seek a Russian partnership
in building a nuclear power plant.
Speaking to the Itar-Tass news
agency on Wednesday prior to leaving for Moscow for an officials state
visit Bayar said, "As early as in Soviet times much work was done
for the prospecting of uranium deposits, and now the time has come for
using that information for mutual advantage." Bayar said.
While in Moscow, the Mongolian
Prime Minister is also planning on meeting with Sergei Kiriyenko, head
of the Federal Agency for Atomic Energy (Rosatom).
Observers are quick to point
out that while Mongolia may be appearing to develop nuclear relations
with Russia, they have made similar overtures to Japan and France, both
of which have uranium projects underway in Mongolia.
