The EU-funded ‘Sustainable Plastic Recycling in Mongolia’ project is helping to improve waste management in Mongolia www.theubposts.com

Waste is not only harmful for the environment and human health but it also creates an economic loss. In Mongolia, we do not have a recycling system in place, therefore, almost all waste is collected and dumped at unofficial and uncontrolled landfills, after which it is burned.
“Аbout 300 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced every year. That’s nearly equivalent to the weight of the entire human population. This is why the EU-funded project is helping to reduce the harmful effects of plastics and focusing on establishing an effective waste management system in Mongolia" says H.E. Ms. Axelle Nicaise, the Ambassador of the European Union to Mongolia during the high-level mission meeting in Bulgan province.
A mission team consisting of H.E. Ms. Axelle Nicaise, the Ambassador of the European Union to Mongolia, H.E. Mr. Jan Vytopil, the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Mongolia and H.E. Mr. Krzysztof Bojko, the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to Mongolia is traveling to Bulgan province. The purpose of the mission is to visit the sites of the project “Sustainable Plastic Recycling in Mongolia” (SPRIM) in Khishig-Undur soum, Bulgan province and to see the interventions of the project.
On 14 March, the mission team met with Bulgan governor Mr. Ariun-Erdene B. and the representatives of government agencies and closely discussed priority areas of the respective organizations and potential future cooperation. Ambassador Nicaise insisted on the full support of local authorities for the proper implementation of the SPRIM project.
“Local authorities' active participation and ownership is crucial for this project. We expect that Bulgan province will become a model province to have an efficient waste management system after the implementation of the project. As a result, other provinces can duplicate good practices from the Bulgan province”, says H.E. Ms. Axelle Nicaise, the Ambassador of the European Union to Mongolia.
In addition, local authorities have expressed their full support for the SPRIM project implementation, as well as potential cooperation areas between Bulgan aimag, Khishig-Undur soum and mission participants.
About project: The SPRIM project aims to contribute to economic prosperity and poverty reduction and support the development of a green economy and the transition towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient and circular economy in Mongolia. It is implemented by the Caritas Czech Republic in Mongolia along with four project partners: Environment and Security Center of Mongolia, EcoSoum, Mongolian Sustainable Development Bridge, and T.G. Masaryk Water Research Institute.

China explains its ‘unique role’ in resolving Russia-Ukraine conflict www.rt.com

Qin Gang, the Chinese ambassador to the US, has said Beijing will work to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine, rather than sending arms to any side in the conflict. Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24, advancing on Kiev and other cities.
Appearing on CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday, Qin said China will not send weapons or ammunition to Russia or Ukraine. “We will do everything to de-escalate the crisis,” he added.
Beijing has refused to condemn Moscow for its military campaign in Ukraine and, unlike many Western countries and some of their allies, did not impose any sanctions on Russia. Beijing’s defiant stance prompted the White House to warn of “consequences” should it help Moscow to bypass sanctions in any way.
Qin noted that China continues to maintain “normal” economic relations with Russia in all spheres, including the economy. Condemning Moscow will not help to achieve peace, he argued.
“On the one hand, China upholds the UN purposes and principles, including the respect for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, including Ukraine,” the diplomat said. “On the other hand, we do see that there is a complexity in the history of the Ukraine issue.”
“China has good relations with Russia, has good relations with Ukraine, and China keeps close communications with the United States and with Europe. They enable China to reach out to all parties concerned in a crisis,” Qin said, adding that Beijing’s “unique role” can help to resolve the crisis.
Moscow attacked its neighbor in late February, following a seven-year standoff over Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.
Russia has now demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.

March 21 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia registered 35 new locally-transmitted COVID-19 cases over the past 24 hours, the lowest daily number for two days in a row since March 6, 2021, raising its total caseload to 468,654, the country's health ministry said on Monday.
Meanwhile, no new deaths were reported in the past day, it said.
Mongolians have basically returned to normal daily life due to high vaccination coverage and declining daily infections.

Australia bans alumina exports to Russia, sources coal for Ukraine www.reuters.com

Australia has imposed an immediate ban on exports of alumina and aluminum ores, including bauxite, to Russia, the government said on Sunday as part of its ongoing sanctions against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine.
“Russia relies on Australia for nearly 20 percent of its alumina needs,” the Australian government said in a joint statement from several ministries, including the prime minister’s office. It added that the move will limit Russia’s capacity to produce aluminium, which is a critical export for Russia.
“The Government will work closely with exporters and peak bodies that will be affected by the ban to find new and expand existing markets,” the statement said.
Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto owns an 80% stake in Queensland Alumina Ltd (QAL) in a joint venture with Russia’s Rusal International PJSC, the world’s second-largest aluminum producer.
Last week, Australia imposed sanctions on two Russian businessmen with links to its mining industry, one of them being billionaire Oleg Deripaska who holds stakes in QAL.
Australia has so far imposed a total of 476 sanctions on 443 individuals, including businessmen close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and 33 entities, including most of Russia’s banking sector and all entities responsible for the country’s sovereign debt, the statement said.
The government also said it will donate at least 70,000 tonnes of thermal coal to Ukraine to meet its energy needs.
Australian coal producers have been bombarded with calls for supply over the past few weeks from Ukraine and other countries like Poland that have been reliant on Russian supplies.
“The Australian Government has worked with the Australian coal industry to source supplies,” the statement said.
Whitehaven Coal has quickly arranged a shipment, and the Government is now working with the company and the Ukrainian and Polish Governments to deliver the supplies at the earliest available opportunity, the statement said.
The government also pledged additional military equipment and humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

World’s largest free-trade pact comes into force www.rt.com

Malaysia’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry announced on Friday that the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) has come into force in the country. The free-trade agreement encompasses an estimated 30% of both the world’s population and of its global GDP.
According to the ministry, Malaysia is expected to be the largest beneficiary of the China-backed free-trade deal among Southeast Asian countries in terms of export gains, with a projected $200-million increase.
“For a country like ours which is around 32-million population, we need to look [outwards] in terms of market size and market access,” A.T. Kumararajah of the Federation of Malaysian Business Associations told China Global Television Network. “RCEP really puts our market size in excess of about two and a half billion people.”
The 15-country trade agreement was inked in November 2020 after almost eight arduous years of negotiations. It is the world’s largest free-trade agreement and incorporates the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), plus China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.
First proposed in 2011, RCEP will, within 20 years, eliminate as much as 90% of the tariffs on imports between its signatories. It will also establish common rules for e-commerce, trade, and intellectual property.
