Mongolia strengthens legal cooperation with South Korea www.news.mn
South Korea has stepped up its efforts to globalise its legal system by strengthening its cooperation with Mongolia. From 13th to 15th September, Kim Oe-sook, Minister of Government Legislation, visited the Mongolian Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs and the Law School of the National University of Mongolia to discuss strengthening legislative exchanges and cooperation.
'The visit to Mongolia was very meaningful as we identified the country's huge interest in our legal system that enabled rapid economic growth in Korea in a short period of time,' Ms. Kim said in a recent interview.
'If Mongolia adopts our legal system according to its interests and will, a legal system similar to ours could take root in the country,' she added. 'I believe that our people who want to advance into the Mongolian market would enjoy an environment more favorable to them.'
During her visit, Ms.Kim met with Sandag Byambatsogt, Minister of Justice and Home Affairs of Mongolia, and signed a work plan as a follow-up measure to the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in 2014.
The agreement came as Mongolia has shown interest in the success of Korea's 'national legal information system' and asked the Korean government to share its experience of developing the system.
Based on the work plan, the two nations will conduct joint research and establish a seminar on the modification of laws from 2018 to 2020.
