Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ During its regular meeting on April 26, Wednesday, the Cabinet addressed the issue of transfer of sentenced persons with Macau and Hong Kong, and resolved to discuss the issue with the corresponding Parliamentary Standing committee.
Mongolia has a bilateral treaty on mutual legal assistance on civil and criminal matters and transfer of sentenced persons and offenders with the People’s Republic of China; however this agreement isn’t effective in Hong Kong and Macau, Special Administrative Regions of the People’s Republic of China.
Considering the increased travel of Mongolians and involvement in criminal activities in these regions, the Cabinet thus discussed the issue of establishing treaties with Hong Kong and Macau on transfer of sentenced persons and offenders and legal assistance, and decided to consult with the corresponding standing committee.
