Mongolian government wants FIA to act on Verstappen comments www.uk.motor1.com

Mongolia's UN ambassador Lundeg Purevsuren has written to Red Bull over Verstappen's 'racist and derogatory' comments.
Following his collision with Lance Stroll during the second free practice session at the Portimao circuit, Verstappen took to the radio to express his displeasure at the incident.
On the radio to his engineer, Verstappen said "Is this fu***g guy blind? What the f**k is wrong with him? Jesus Christ. What a retard. I have damage. What a mongol. I swear."
Verstappen later conceded on Friday that the words he chose were "not the right ones" and that he "never intended to offend anybody", but his comments nonetheless have resulted in groups such as Mongol Identity to release an open letter, asking for a full apology from the Dutch driver.
The Mongolian government has also sent letters to Dietrich Mateschitz, CEO of Red Bull GmbH, and Tobias Moers, CEO of Red Bull Racing's title sponsor Aston Martin, to express his disappointment with Verstappen's language over the radio.
In that letter, Purevsuren - who acts as Mongolia's ambassador to the United Nations and World Trade Organisation - said that he was "confident" that the FIA would take further action against Verstappen.
"I regret the use of racist and unethical language in public by Red Bull driver Max Verstappen during the practice of the Portuguese Grand Prix of the Formula One World Championship on 23 October 2020," reads Purevsuren's letter.
"Sport is considered a symbol of unity all over the world and I believe that there should not be any form of racial discrimination in sports.
"I support the 'We Race as One' initiative of the Formula 1 against racism. But due to the abovementioned incident, I doubt that this initiative meets the reality.
"I am confident that in order to prevent the recurrence of such unethical behaviour in sports, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) will take actions against Red Bull driver Max Verstappen for his unacceptable behaviour of repeatedly using racist and derogatory language against any ethnic groups."
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner told the BBC that he does not "condone" Verstappen's choice of language, and that he spoke to the driver internally.
"Max did not mean to cause offence," Horner said. "They were made in the heat of the moment when emotions were running high."
Red Bull has been requested for comment.

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. On October 30, the cabinet convened an irregular meeting and made a decision to close border crossing checkpoints with the Russian Federation – Borshoo in Uvs aimag and Tsagaanuur in Bayan-Ulgii aimag for 21 days, starting from November 2, Monday.
Deputy Prime Minister Ya.Sodbaatar informed that the decision has been made in connection with the possible risk of infection of COVID-19 amid the increasing number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Russia, an immediate neighbor of Mongolia.
In specific, as of now, a total of 30 freight truck drivers have been tested positive for the virus while in Mongolia, including two most-recent COVID-19 cases detected from Russian freight truck drivers, who arrived in Mongolia across the Tsagaannuur border point last night.
“As of today, only freight transportation of staple foods, petroleum products and animal fodder are running through border checkpoints located in the western region of Mongolia, and all border checkpoints of the country are still closed to all passenger movements due to COVID-19. However, given the current situation, the aforementioned border checkpoints will be closed completely for 21 days” says the Deputy Prime Minister.

ADB to help manage food insecurity risks in Mongolia amid supply disruptions caused by COVID-19 www.montsame.mn

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. On 29 October, The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a $410,000 technical assistance (TA) grant to help manage food insecurity risks amid supply disruptions caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease pandemic in Mongolia.
“Together with its severe economic impacts, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted food supply chains and increased the risks of food insecurity in Mongolia,” said ADB Director for Environment, Natural Resources, and Agricultural Development in East Asia Qingfeng Zhang.
“With this TA, ADB's first focusing on assessing and mitigating the impact of pandemic on food supply chain disruptions, we aim to develop rapid response mechanisms to address food insecurity risks during the pandemic.”
The poor, on average, spend 43% of their household expenditure on food and are particularly vulnerable to increases in food prices. The pandemic’s adverse shocks of increased food prices and reduced household incomes exacerbate the risk of malnutrition among Mongolia’s vulnerable and poor households.
Three in four poor households were negatively affected by the high prices of major food items. The strict quarantine measures and trade disruptions made maintaining food supply chains challenging. In April 2020, 58% of farm households were unable to sell products because of logistical disruptions.
Aside from the COVID-19 pandemic, Mongolia faces a range of food insecurity risks, including extreme weather, natural hazards, pests, and diseases. Mongolia has one short growing season so not having a timely supply of agricultural production inputs would disrupt grain production.
The vulnerabilities of Mongolia’s food supply chain are likely to exacerbate supply disruptions during the crisis including a weak logistical and storage network, weak biosecurity and food safety arrangements, poor access to financial services among small and medium-sized enterprises and small-scale herders, and high dependency on food imports from the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China.
In addition to preparing a short-term response, the TA will assess the vulnerabilities of Mongolia’s food supply chains, provide policy advice, build capacity to manage a wide range of food insecurity risks beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, and assist in preparing medium- to long-term strategy and action plan to establish more resilient food supply chains and reduce food insecurity risks.
The TA will also support a feasibility study to establish a price monitoring system along food supply chains and emergency stock systems, and dialogue among public and private stakeholders to form coordinated actions to build more resilient food supply chains including the application of digital technologies.
The TA is estimated to cost $410,000, of which $400,000 will be financed on a grant basis from ADB’s Technical Assistance Special Fund. The Government of Mongolia will provide counterpart support.
The TA complements other ADB COVID-19 assistance to Mongolia, which includes a $15 million loan to support the wheat supply chain in Mongolia during the COVID-19 pandemic, a $100 million COVID-19 Pandemic Response Option, $30 million in additional financing for the Fifth Health Sector Development Program, and a $26.4 million loan to lessen the socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic through the Shock-Responsive Social Protection Project.
