A Matter of Choice: UNDP Report Calls For Inclusive AI to Expand Opportunities for Mongolians www.undp.org

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched its flagship Human Development Report 2025, highlighting a global slowdown in human development and calling for inclusive, people-centered strategies to harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The 2025 Human Development Report -"A matter of choice: people and possibilities in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)" shows that the world saw the smallest increase in global Human Development Index (HDI) since 1990, excluding the COVID-19 years. Instead of rebounding, progress has stagnated, threatening to delay achievement of the 2030 Agenda by decades.
The report advocates for a transformational reset anchored in three key directions:
Building a complementarity economy where people and AI collaborate,
Embedding human agency across the AI lifecycle, and
Investing in education and health systems fit for the 21st century.
Mongolia ranked 104 out of 193 countries and territories in the report with a HDI value of 0.747, an increase of 26 percent since 1990. Between 1990 and 2022, Mongolia’s life expectancy at birth increased by 12.9 years, mean years of schooling increased by 0.9 years and expected years of schooling increased by 3.5 years while gross national income per capita increased by 148.4 percent, according to the report. 
His Excellency, Baatarkhuu Tsend, Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Communications, emphasized the country’s AI ambitions and stated, “Mongolia is committed to becoming a regional leader in responsible AI. We have already made important strides, from the development of E-Mongolia platform to the National Big Data and AI strategy which is in the making. But we must now ensure that digital transformation leaves no one behind, from rural communities to future generations,” during his opening remarks. 
Statement of His Excellency Gantumur Luvsannyam, the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Development of Mongolia, was delivered by the Advisor to the Minister, Mr. Battumur Batsuuri, and stated, “Our country’s progress in digitalization and development is commendable. But this report is a timely reminder that growth without equity, and technology without ethics, will not deliver the inclusive and prosperous future we envision. Our policies need to put people, not systems, at the center of innovation,” during his opening remarks. 
According to the report, the risks of inequality are growing, particularly between high- and low-HDI countries. While 60% of global survey respondents expressed optimism about AI’s potential to improve their work and lives, gaps in access, skills, and infrastructure remain stark—especially in developing economies.
“AI is not just a technology, but also a mirror reflecting our values and priorities. Used wisely, it can power Mongolia’s Vision 2050 and accelerate the achievement of the SDGs. We need to not just ask what AI can do, but what it can do for people, so it truly expands our choices and opportunities,” said Ms. Matilda Dimovska, UNDP Resident Representative in Mongolia. 
Mr. Philip Schellekens, Chief Economist for Asia-Pacific at UNDP, provided a comprehensive overview of the key insights and recommendations of the Report, highlighting their implications for Mongolia.
The event also featured opening remarks by Ms. Amarzaya Tumurbaatar, Executive Director of the Mongolian Youth Council, who shared youth perspectives on the future, human development, and the role of AI, while emphasizing the importance of youth participation. In his closing remarks, Mr. Jaap van Hierden, UN Resident Coordinator in Mongolia, underscored the need to invest in people’s capabilities, ensure inclusive digital access, and strengthen public infrastructure to empower individuals and communities.
The launch event featured a high-level panel discussion exploring how Mongolia can leverage AI to expand people’s choices and opportunities, moderated by Ms. Dulamkhorloo Baatar, Founder of Nest Center for Journalism Innovation. Speakers included:
Honorable Zoljargal Jargalsaikhan, MP and Chair of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Innovation and Digital Policy;
Mr. Munkhbat P., Director General, Ministry of Digital Development;
Ms. Tana Jambaldorj, Secretary of the National Committee for Vision 2050; and
Ms. Khongorzul B, Specialist, Sustainable Development and Social Policy Division, Integrated Development Policy and Planning Department, Ministry of Economy and Development
Ms. Enkhsaikhan Nyamsuren, Co-Founder, Empasoft Institute of Technology.
The panel provided a valuable space to explore how Mongolia can localize the report’s recommendations and align AI transformation with national priorities.
The Human Development Report’s central message is clear: AI’s impact on people and societies will depend not on what AI can do, but on how we choose to govern it. As countries like Mongolia embrace digital transformation, there is a window of opportunity to build smarter, fairer, and more resilient societies.

Chinese trader who made $1.5B on gold builds giant bet on copper price www.bloomberg.com

A reclusive Chinese billionaire whose prescient gold trades turned into an eye-catching windfall has now become the country’s biggest copper bull, amassing a bet worth nearly $1 billion in a market jolted by escalating competition between the US and China.
Bian Ximing, who made an early fortune in plastic tubes before seeking a quiet life in Gibraltar, has made waves over the last two years with his investment in Chinese gold futures, betting on what he argued would be a global effort to reduce reliance on the dollar and counter inflation worries. His fund came in just as bullion was beginning a record-breaking ascent — and made roughly $1.5 billion in profit in the process, according to Bloomberg calculations.
Today, as a trade war and potential truce roil markets, Bian and his brokerage, Zhongcai Futures Co., are responsible for the largest net long position in copper contracts on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, according to people familiar with the matter and bourse data. After 10 months of purchases, at the end of Friday they were long nearly 90,000 tons in copper futures, counting Bian’s own investment and funds he manages through Zhongcai — enough to dwarf any peers.
It’s a position that the 61-year-old tycoon, who personally accounts for the lion’s share of the Zhongcai investment, intends to maintain, the people said, even after geopolitical ructions prompted some of his investors to pull out — an expression of confidence in the metal and in the economy of the world’s largest consumer. The people asked not to be named as company discussions are private.
“It’s a quite unique copper position that is worth following,” said Li Yiyao, a vice president of Cofco Futures Co.’s Shanghai North Bund division. “It reflects a very long-term, bullish sentiment on the metal based on fundamentals — which differs from the usual mid or short-term strategies we see in the market.” She added that Bian’s counterintuitive moves during the worst of the trade turmoil, standing firm as many others exited, were particularly remarkable.
A handful of larger-than-life figures have dominated Chinese commodities trading since the economic boom began two decades ago, transforming the industry. Bian ranks alongside Xiang Guangda, founder of nickel pioneer Tsingshan, or magnates like He Jinbi, the missing founder of Maike Metals International Co., and Ge Weidong, founder of Shanghai Chaos Investment, one of the earliest commodities-focused hedge funds in China.
Though his methodology has differed from that of traditional physical traders, his rivals and managers describe the austere Bian as having a deep understanding of a market that has become increasingly difficult to read for those outside China.
The billionaire, described by those who know him as unassuming and direct, has also stood out for his seclusion, running his team of Chinese managers and the brokerage he took over two decades ago via video call from the southern tip of the Iberian peninsula. Since moving from eastern China more than a decade ago, attracted by warmer weather and proximity to European assets, Bian makes few trips home to visit his investment team and factories.
That hasn’t stopped him from garnering a loyal following in China for his Warren Buffett-like online musings on investment philosophy, keenly parsed by anyone eager to emulate a strategy closer to that of a traditional Western hedge fund than the more speculative approach of homegrown traders.
A good investor must “let go of his own ego and be less obsessed, and then choose the right targets and be stubborn,” Bian wrote in one of his periodic posts in January. “When choosing targets, focus on trends. When implementing projects, focus on timing. When maintaining projects, focus on costs.”
His lieutenants occasionally write up their own “reflections” on the company site.
Bian declined to comment for this story. Zhongcai did not respond to emailed queries. Bloomberg used bourse data and conversations with multiple business associates, rivals and other traders to build a picture of his operations and trading.
Bian isn’t alone in seeing an upward trajectory for copper, an industrial metal vital for the electrification of the world. The long-term dynamics of the energy transition and limited mine supply have long been highlighted by bulls.
Commodity traders in the last few months have been chasing gains from Trump’s copper tariff threat, which has drawn cargoes to US warehouses and left the rest of the world short. Mercuria Energy Group Ltd.’s metals boss Kostas Bintas, one of the more outspoken boosters, suggested in March that copper could reach $12,000 or $13,000 a ton, well above previous records and current levels closer to $9,500.
Still, a more volatile market has made the metal’s next move hard to predict, while prices at historically high levels are also testing the resilience of large physical consumers in China.
Bian has been in and out of copper before. He held short positions through much of 2024, even as the rest of the world took a rosier view of the Chinese economy. Just before the US election in November, he began a switch to an emphatic long position, in anticipation of a Trump victory that could prompt investment in local manufacturing, and of Chinese economic stimulus efforts.
He accelerated his purchases from early January, for his own investment and with managed funds, with Zhongcai holdings reaching a peak near 40,000 lots, or 200,000 tons of the metal, in early April, before Trump began his escalation of tariffs, exchange data shows. He later moved some of the brokerage’s positions to CME Group’s Comex, to capture US turbulence, two of the people familiar with his investments said. As at the end of April, Zhongcai’s copper bet generated a total profit of around $200 million, according to the Bloomberg calculation.
According to the people, he currently holds no short positions in copper.
Bian has concentrated his bets in Shanghai, a move that ultimately proved lucky. When copper prices briefly tumbled amid tariff uncertainties last month, Chinese markets were closed for a national holiday, sparing Bian and other Shanghai-based traders from the selloff and rebound.
Some of his investors have backed out since then, two of the people said, rattled by the trade war and fears of a global recession.
But Bian has increased his own long positions in copper in the past month in Shanghai and beyond, telling backers that he sees economic resilience in China and a continued rise for the metal. Rival traders say his is also a bet on China’s shift to a higher-tech — and so copper-hungry — economy, and on the ample liquidity to support it.
The position “is not big enough to distort the market, but it does provide a rare insight into Bian’s strategy,” said Jia Zheng, head of trading at Shanghai Soochow Jiuying Investment Management Co. “People in the market have been tracking his gold and copper trades closely.”
Born in 1963, in the aftermath of China’s brutal Great Leap Forward modernization campaign, Bian grew up in Zhuji, a township in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang. Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution interrupted his education, but he ultimately graduated from a vocational school affiliated with the central bank in 1985.
In 1995, as China was about to set off on its upward trajectory, he founded a factory making high-end plastic tubes. Like many of his peers, he then rode a wave of massive economic transformation, building up an empire ranging from construction material to financial services and property, with units in the US, UK and Hong Kong, and factories in India. He purchased the futures broker that became Zhongcai in Shanghai in 2003, naming it after his holding company Zhongcai Merchants Investment Group Co. Other investments include a major stake in the movie-making arm of Alibaba Group.
During his early years in chemical derivatives and plastics, Bian was already famous for his independent trading strategies when it was more common for others to work together to squeeze out rivals holding opposing positions.
Not everything has gone to plan for Bian. The same flight to safety that has buoyed his gold positions has also hurt his equity and local municipal bond investments, people familiar with his holdings said, generating some losses.
“There are traps and opportunities everywhere — opportunities in risks and traps in opportunities,” Bian wrote in a blog post from last year. “Investment is essentially a game of survival.”

The Government of Mongolia and Orano Reaffirm Their Partnership for a Sustainable Mining Development www.businesswire.com

PARIS-On the occasion of the working visit to France by the Mongolian government delegation from May 14 to 16, H.E. Nyam-Osor Uchral, Minister and Chief Cabinet Secretary of Mongolia, and Mr. Nicolas Maes, Chief Executive Officer of Orano group, reaffirmed the enduring partnership between the two parties, built over 25 years of constructive cooperation.
The parties welcomed the progress made since the signing of the investment agreement on January 17, 2025, which laid the foundation for the development of the Zuuvch-Ovoo uranium project in Mongolia. They underscored their shared commitment to advancing the project in line with international best practices, with particular emphasis on radiation safety, environmental protection, operational security, and meaningful community engagement.
Recognizing the importance of transparency, scientific integrity, and stakeholder trust, and in line with the best international practices, the parties announced the establishment of a Stakeholders’ Council comprising representatives from civil society, non-governmental organizations, scientific experts, and local communities. This Council will serve as a consultative and informative mechanism to ensure inclusive dialogue and reinforce public confidence, regarding environmental and radiological safety.
In addition to this measure, the government of Mongolia has decided to establish a state-of-the-art, internationally accredited radiological laboratory. Orano welcomes this initiative and expresses its willingness to support it: this independent facility will provide reliable and transparent data on radiation levels and environmental impact.
Mr. Xavier Saint Martin Tillet, Senior Executive Vice President of Orano’s Mining Business Unit, stated: “Orano is guided by the conviction that sustainability is only achievable through responsible mining practices. Our operations align with international frameworks, including those of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), of which Orano has been a member since 2011. Our procedures are regularly audited by independent third parties. We are committed to working closely with Mongolian academic institutions to foster innovation in the exploration and processing of uranium. Orano is pleased to collaborate with Mongolian authorities and stakeholders to establish a state-of-the-art, internationally accredited radiological laboratory.”
H.E. Minister Nyam-Osor Uchral stated: “Our partnership with Orano reflects the government of Mongolia’s broader vision for sustainable and responsible resource development. We appreciate Orano’s longstanding engagement and its commitment to high standards of environmental and operational integrity. The government will take all necessary measures to support the safe and secure implementation of the project, while ensuring that local communities remain well-informed and engaged throughout.
The creation of the Stakeholders’ Council and the establishment of an internationally accredited radiological laboratory are tangible steps towards strengthening public confidence. We are confident this collaboration will serve as a model for responsible, transparent, and inclusive uranium development.”
The two parties reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring that the Zuuvch-Ovoo project contributes meaningfully to Mongolia’s development priorities and reflects best practices in international collaboration.

B.Enkhbayar: If the Prime Minister is following the principle ‘If I die, everyone dies,’ I don’t support www.gogo.mn

B.Enkhbayar, Member of Parliament, has publicly expressed his position regarding the controversy surrounding the Prime Minister’s son.
“Since our party group meeting was held behind closed doors, I can’t speak on behalf of other members,” he said. “But personally, I’ve called for party leaders to be involved in addressing the demands of young protesters and broader political concerns.”
He emphasized that citizens have the right to question politicians and hold them ethically accountable for their words and actions. He added that Prime Minister L.Oyun-Erdene, as party leader, has suggested convening a party conference soon.
“I made it clear that if the meeting includes discussion about family or children matters, I would not allow it. And B.Enkhbayar stressed that issues that can be resolved through political decisions should not drag the entire party into collective responsibility".
The Prime Minister has stayed silent too long. The Party members are confused that defending the leader is becoming right or wrong. And now he’s making strange remarks himself, which just adds fuel to the fire.”
What is going on with the leaders of the People's Democratic Party, and HUN Party? This is not a parliamentary issue. And if the principle here is ‘If I die, everyone dies with me’ I can’t support that.

PH, Mongolia deepen bilateral ties in landmark diplomatic talks www.pna.gov.ph

MANILA – The Philippines and Mongolia strengthened their economic and strategic partnership in a historic visit by Mongolian Foreign Minister Batmunkh Battsetseg on Monday, after over four decades.
In his speech on Monday, Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo described the visit as a milestone in the Philippines-Mongolia relationship, noting the productive bilateral meeting with Battsetseg, that led to the issuance of the two nations’ first bilateral statement since 2000.
Battsetseg also paid a courtesy call on President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
“The Philippines and Mongolia are two of the fastest-growing economies not only in Asia but in the world. The future of our bilateral partnership finds strength in our two resource-rich economies,” Manalo said.
“As middle-income countries, we share an interest in pursuing cooperation to sustain our promising development trajectories,” he added.
In a joint statement, Manalo and Battsetseg reaffirmed the enduring bonds of friendship between the Philippines and Mongolia, emphasizing that bilateral ties are founded on a shared commitment to peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation. 
The two officials also highlighted common values such as freedom, democracy and human rights, as they stressed the importance of an open, inclusive and rules-based international order grounded in international law, equity and justice. 
The two sides agreed to advance cooperation in trade and investment, food security, English language training and regional security.
“The Secretary and the Minister reaffirmed their shared commitment to strengthening trade and investment ties by fostering sustainable economic growth and private sector collaboration, while advancing comprehensive trade cooperation, expanding trade volume, and promoting mutually beneficial market access,” the joint statement read.
Both nations expressed satisfaction with the progress on a memorandum of understanding on agricultural cooperation that aligns with the priorities of both President Marcos and Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh, who have each declared food security as a national agenda.
Meanwhile, recognizing Mongolia’s designation of English as its second official language, the Philippines launched a pilot program for Mongolian civil servants and rural officials to study English in the Philippines, to be organized by the Technical Cooperation Council of the Philippines and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority.
Labor cooperation also featured prominently in the discussions, as Manalo thanked the Mongolian government for ensuring the protection of the rights and welfare of around 500 Filipino workers in Mongolia.
“I discussed with her our desire to forge cooperative frameworks that will better protect Filipinos in Mongolia,” he said.
The two countries identified potential cooperation in tourism, science and innovation, disaster risk reduction, and defense.
On regional security, they reaffirmed their commitment to international law, particularly the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and underscored the importance of the 1982 Manila Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of Disputes.
The Philippines and Mongolia noted their shared vision of a world free of nuclear weapons as they advance regional security and global disarmament goals. 
“The two sides decided to continue cooperating to promote nuclear weapons-free zones in the context of the review process of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,” the joint statement read. 
Mongolia expressed strong interest in becoming a Sectoral Dialogue Partner of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, a move supported by the Philippines. In turn, Mongolia backed the Philippines’ bid for a non-permanent seat at the UN Security Council for 2027–2028.
Both sides emphasized the importance of collective action to address climate change, focusing on building resilience and prioritizing disaster risk reduction, while the Philippines expressed its full support for Mongolia’s hosting of the 17th Session of the Conference of the Parties of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, to be held in Ulaanbaatar in 2026.
