AKIPRESS.COM - The 1st forum of Mongolian-Russian journalists was held in Ulaanbaatar. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Mongolian Journalists’ Union and the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) were responsible for organizing the forum. In total, 17 Russian and 45 Mongolian journalists participated in the event.

Since 1990, Mongolian-Russian media cooperation has declined, the forum attendees agreed. The sides haven't met since the Mongolia-Soviet Journalists’ Forum on the Ecological Situation of Lake Khuvsgul in 1988.

The forum attendees thus discussed Mongolian-Russian media cooperation and restoration of bilateral relations.

The journalists exchanged their opinions on organizing similar events regularly in the future, supporting media cooperation in all ways and jointly implementing large projects.
