Ceremonies marked the opening
of a free trade zone last week in Mongolia.
Some 400 hectares have been
set aside for building businesses in Selenge aimag's Altanbulag soum.
Working as a group, hundreds of businesses from seven countries signed
a $600 million USD contract to build in the area.
A variety of businesses, including
manufacturing facilities, will operate within the free trade zone.
Attending the ceremony were
O.Chuluunbat, E.Bat-Uul MPs; V.A.Govorin, an Ambassador Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to Mongolia; J.Erdenebat,
a governor of Selenge aimag; and Mongolian and Russian businessmen.
Some 10,000 Mongolian citizens
are expected to eventually work and live within the free trade zone
area.
