Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan sign MoU on cooperation in wool processing

All the agreements are aimed at increasing joint cooperation.

Mongolian Minister of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry Enkhbayar Jadamba and Kyrgyz Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry Bakyt Torobayev signed the MoU on cooperation in wool processing.

Within the framework of the ‘White Gold’ National Movement of Mongolia, Mongolian wool would be exported to Kyrgyzstan. Both sides will implement joint projects in wool product supply, processing and promotion, while exchanging information and fostering business relations for mutual benefit, according to Kyrgyz media outlets.

Launched last year, the White Gold National Campaign is aimed at revitalising the light industry, stimulating the economic circulation of raw materials of animal origin, creating new jobs in the sector, raising production of value-added goods, boosting herders' incomes and improving their livelihoods.

An agreement on scientific cooperation between the Kyrgyz National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Sciences of Mongolia was also signed.
