Governor of Mongolia's Darkhan Sh.Nasanbat on Monday commended Kuwaiti aid to his country, looking forward to further joint developmental projects which serve the governorate's residents.
"This statement came in the meeting between Darkhan's senior officials and Kuwaiti Ambassador to Mongolia Khaled Yateem Al-Fadhli, who paid a visit to the governorate upon an official invitation," said a press statement by Kuwaiti Embassy in Ulan Bator received by KUNA.
During the meeting, the Ambassador discussed with senior officials the ways of strengthening cooperation between the two countries, notably in the domain of developmental projects, it noted.
Ambassador Al-Fadhli paid a field visit to a number of facilities in the governorate, including Darkhan iron and steel factory, the country's largest one, and Darkhan leather factory.
Darkhan is Mongolia's third largest city and the capital of Darkhan-Uul Aimag. It is 100 km from the country's borders with Russia and it has a population of 100,000.
The governorate was established in 1961 to be the Mongolia's industrial city.
