This has been a seventh such transport of animals in which military pilots train long-distance flights and landing on an unpaved ground.

Jaromir Sebesta, commander of the Czech air force, said the military CASA aircraft is not destined for long flights, but it offers sufficient comfort to the animals.

One of the four mares travelling to Mongolia is Saranqua, which was born in the Prague Zoological Garden as the 222nd young of the Przewalski's horse.

Two other mares come from German zoos and the fourth from Denmark.

Twenty-two mares and one stallion have been transported from Prague to Mongolia by a military plane since 2011. The project is financed from a fund to which Prague Zoo visitors contribute with two crowns per entrance ticket.

Twenty-five years will pass since the launch of the project of returning the Przewalski's horses into their natural habitat this year.

Prague Zoo director Miroslav Bobek says the salvation project is successful and that the horses reproduce in Mongolia.

The first transport to Mongolia was carried out in June 1992. Since 2011, the Prague Zoo has organised transports to western Mongolia independently. It has returned 27 animals to their original environment, including 23 from the Czech Republic and four within Mongolia.

This autumn or next spring, the Prague Zoo will take Przewalski's horses to China, but not in cooperation with the military.

Under the auspices of the Prime Minister of Mongolia, a total of MNT 145 million was funded from the state reserves. And the remaining fund of the satellite was collected from the investment of the Government of Mongolia, State Special Commission and National Emergency Management Agency. Furthermore, the ground station at NUM was funded by the donations and support of public, student union of NUM, Student Congress, students and professors of NUM.

According to the team, Mazaalai satellite will orbit over Mongolia 5 to 6 times a day and will conduct four scientific experiments in space.
Locate position using the reverse GPS method with the help of 7 international ground stations of the BIRDS project,
Determine speed change of the satellite after locating its position,
Determine air density,
Research cosmic radiations in the low Earth orbit.
The satellite will be installed on July 7 and officially start operation once the ground station at National University of Mongolia receives the first signal, which will be the national anthem of Mongolia.

The main activity of the company is wheat flour, high standard rice, noodle and sake production and export but there's an opportunity to consider the prospective Mongolian product import and sale through its more than 1500 stabled outlet network in Japan.

On the first stage, wireless and landline internet service became accessible in 118 remote soums and on the second stage, wireless internet network was established in 136 soums, providing soum residents with inexpensive internet service. During the third stage, the project launched today is connecting some 80 soums and settlements with wireless internet. Therefore, now 21 aimags and 285 soums are having a wireless broadband internet connection.

PM J.Erdenbat delivered speech at the opening ceremony. “- Every Mongolian citizen has a right to receive services and information of state organizations transparently, promptly and independently on location and time, gaining access to the most reliable and universal communication service. We are working with an aim to make state service equally accessible and inclusive, reaching for citizens of remote soum, settlements and the countryside, changing the current situation that citizens move to bigger settlements to receive state services. We are launching a project to newly connect 73 soums with wireless and landline internet in 2017 within ‘E-soum” project. The project will give benefits to over 800 thousand people in remote soums and settlements and it is essential to improve their involvement of state policy development, access of state services as well as to make state organizations operate transparently and without bureaucracy ” PM said.

Executive Director of “Mongolia Telecom” company M.Altan-Ochir said “ – Internet connection becomes available in all over the soum center territory. State organizations of soums including Citizens representative meeting, governor’s office, hospital, police, kindergarten and schools are connected to internet. Moreover people can use any device to be connected to internet. A total of MNT2.5 billion was spent for it. Our company also made some funding for it. We are in charge of the internet operation and services further”.
“Mongolia Telecom” company is now working on introducing ‘E-soum’ application for administrative organization of soums to establish interior network between organizations, distribute information promptly and to make state service accessible to citizens through internet.

Mongolia has taken significant action in improving air traffic management infrastructure, through continued implementation of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) routes.

Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) use PBN technologies to allow aircraft to travel as quickly and safely as possible, optimizing efficiency and reducing aviation’s carbon footprint.

IATA’s initial estimates show that Mongolia’s actions in implementing PBN routes have resulted in annual reductions of 240,000 nautical miles, 24,000 flight minutes, and 2,250 tons of fuel burn, compared to the previous infrastructure.

In a statement, IATA said it was "eager to continue its valuable collaboration with Mongolia, striving to continue to improve the efficiencies of the flights operating in the region—via Mongolia—most of which are long haul."

The Second Energy Sector Project was approved by the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors last week, and will provide $54.4 million to address bottlenecks in Mongolia’s electricity supply by upgrading ageing assets and expanding distribution capacity.

Obsolete and inefficient distribution networks have led to significant distribution losses, which are as much as 25 per cent in many networks.

The World Bank detailed that regional distribution systems have reached their capacity limit and are in critical need of renovation and expansion.

The project will finance efforts to upgrade and expand the capacity of power distribution infrastructure in the Baganuur-Southeast and the Erdenet-Bulgan distribution network – which provide electricity to nine of Mongolia’s 21 provinces.

The project will also support the development of renewable energy through the installation of the nation’s first large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) 10 megawatt (MW) power plant outside the Central Energy System.

The solar energy plant will generate affordable and clean energy to the country’s western region, which currently imports 70 per cent of its power supply.

The project will be funded by a $42 million loan on concessional terms from the World Bank’s International Development Association and a $12.4 million grant from the Scaling-Up Renewable Energy Program under the Strategic Climate Fund.

James Anderson, World Bank Country Manager for Mongolia, said: “More reliable access to electricity will improve the lives of families and help businesses thrive. The World Bank is committed to continuing our partnership with Mongolia to strengthen the power sector and explore options for renewable energy to help the country pursue sustainable development.”

Peter Johansen, senior energy specialist of the World Bank, said: “We are encouraged by the government’s target to increase the share of renewables to 30 per cent by 2030. With its abundant solar and wind power resources, the country is now considering to more effectively and efficiently incentivize renewable energy investment to fully use its potential.”

Throughout the visit, the minister highlighted the UK is a significant economic and export partner for Mongolia. The UK is one of the largest investors in Mongolia in sectors ranging from mining and building infrastructure to financial services. Exports from the UK to Mongolia include a diverse variety of products.

During his visit, the minister met the Foreign Minister, H.E. Munkh-Orgil Tsend, Vice Minister of Road and Transport Development, H.E. Tsogtgerel Batchuluun. Discussions were held on many matters, including:

ways to further strengthen the bilateral trading relationship
exploring areas to maximise future opportunities for UK and Mongolian businesses
He also opened the securities trading session at the Mongolian Stock Exchange.

“During the drilling of the Tsentralno-Olginskaya-1 well from the shore of the Khara-Tumus Peninsula on the shelf of the Khatanga Bay of the Laptev Sea, three core samples were taken from depths of 2305 to 2363 m, which showed high oil saturation dominated with light oily fractions,” the company said in a statement.

The potential of the newly-discovered deposit has yet to be verified, the company said.

“On the basis of primary studies, it can be concluded a new oil field has been discovered, the volume of the resource potential of which is increasing as the drilling continues. Core sampling continues at the moment,” a statement from Rosneft said.

Russian Minister of Natural Resources Sergey Donskoy congratulated the company on the discovery and said this could be the largest oil deposit in the Russian Arctic.

"Now we expect more discoveries from our colleagues. They promise to cheer up the sector soon," Donskoy posted on Facebook.

Russia’s largest private oil company – Lukoil – is also operating in Khatanga. Lukoil has been developing the Eastern Taimyr sector. The area’s coastal resources are estimated at 4.5 million tons of oil, 9.3 billion cubic meters of gas and 0.5 million tons of condensate.
