Mongolia to establish independent agency for water management: PM www.xinhuanet.com

ULAN BATOR, March 25 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia is working to establish an independent agency for water management, the country's Prime Minister Ukhnaa Khurelsukh said Monday.

He made the statement during a meeting with water experts of the country, according to the government's press office.

"I have fully supported a proposal by water experts on establishing an agency which is in charge of the issues of the country's water," Khurelsukh said, adding that he has ordered relevant ministers to conduct research.

Mongolians' water consumption now lies at between 7 and 160 liters per day depending on where they live, which means that, compared with other countries, Mongolia ranks in the middle of the list of countries in the world by per capita water consumption, adequacy and hygiene of drinking water, N. Enkhbayar, an advisor to Khurelsukh, said on Thursday.

The Asian country boasts some 11,902 cubic meters of renewable internal freshwater resources per capita, according to data released by the World Bank in 2014.

Though the amount of water resources per capita in Mongolia looks abundant, the resources are unevenly distributed, with most rivers and lakes located in the northern mountainous regions of the landlocked country, while in other parts of the country, especially southern desert areas, underground sources account for 80 percent of total water consumption.

Around 30 percent of Mongolia's population has access to the water supply system. About 25 percent of the population receives water from the water transportation service, over 35 percent gets water from water supply points and less than 10 percent uses water from springs, rivers and snow water.

Mongolian Central Bank keeps policy interest rate www.news.mn

The Central Bank of Mongolia has decided to leave the policy interest rate unchanged at 11 percent. “The decision aims to bolster economic growth and cope with the inflation target framework in the medium term,” said B.Bayarsaikhan, head of the bank’s monetary policy council.

The central bank has set a goal to stabilize inflation around the target rate of 8 percent in the medium term, B.Bayarsaikhan said, adding that annual inflation was at around 6.9 percent in February.

In addition, Mongolia’s central bank has maintained its forecast for economic growth to be at least 6.9 percent this year.

Foreign direct investment in the resource-rich country, an increase in coal exports, and activity in non-mining sectors will be the main drivers of the country’s economic growth this year, according to experts of the central bank.

Mongolia’s gross domestic product in 2018 expanded 6.9 percent year on year to reach 18.1 trillion Mongolian tugriks (6.8 billion U.S. dollars).

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Prime Minister U.Khurelsukh received today representatives of non-governmental organizations in charge of water issue.

"At a conference organized for improving water governance on the occasion of World Water Day, attendees agreed that there is a necessity to find proper method to integrate implementation of water policy nationwide. Therefore, I am forwarding a request to set up an agency involved in water issues," said D.Baasandorj, Head of Mongolian Water Partnership NGO. Accepting the request, PM U.Khurelsukh said that I had assigned Minister of Environment and Tourism to study establishment of water agency and to introduce it at the Cabinet meeting. I will re-assign the Minister to take immediate actions on it.

69 girls sexually assaulted in Mongolia in first two months of 2019 www.xinhuanet.com

ULAN BATOR, March 25 (Xinhua) -- A total of 69 girls have been sexually assaulted in Mongolia in the first two months of 2019, the Mongolian Women's Federation (MWF) said Monday.

The statement came after reports were recently made public that an 8-year-old girl had been repeatedly raped by her biological father on a grazing ground.

"A total of 69 girls aged 6-17 have been affected by sexual assault across the country in the first two months of this year. The majority of the perpetrators of the sexual violence are people close to the victims, including their fathers, stepfathers, brothers and relatives," Batnasan Oyungerel, president of the MWF, told a press conference.

"The number of these types of crimes is likely to increase if relevant laws are not tightened," Oyungerel said, noting that more than 290 girls have suffered from sexual assault in the country over the past three years.

"This is the number recorded by police. Nobody knows how many other girls are now crying and suffering from sexual assault behind closed doors," she added.

Divorce and lack of adequate parental care are the main factors for girls to be sexually abused, she said, urging an improvement in the country's family laws related to divorce and parental responsibility.

According to Mongolian law, a man convicted of raping a girl under 14 years old will be punished by imprisonment of 12-20 years or a life sentence. In addition, a man who is found guilty of raping a girl aged 14-18 can be sentenced between two and eight years.

Floating nuclear power plant to light up China www.rt.com

Construction of the first Chinese floating nuclear power plant will begin within 2019, according to Luo Qi, head of the Nuclear Power Institute (NPI) of China.
It will be a marine platform equipped with scaled-down nuclear reactors, which can provide electricity and heat to areas with difficult access, such as remote areas, islands, and offshore oil and gas platforms, Luo told the Global Times.

He noted that the floating nuclear platform, which does not take up a lot of space, will not be affected by earthquakes and will create no pollution. The platform will be built by China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).

Gu Jun, the general manager of CNNC, said earlier the corporation is in preparation for a floating nuclear power plant off the coast of East China’s Shandong Province. He did not reveal further details of the project, saying that information including the volume of investment is still unknown.

Media reported in November that the platform will cost 14 billion yuan (US$2.1 billion), and will be put into use in 2021.
