"Within this visit, it will be effective to strengthen friendship of young parliamentarians and share mutual experiences.”

In turn, John Grogan thanked the Speaker for cordial welcome and said that "20 years ago, I came to Mongolia as a member of Britain’s first parliamentary delegation. There have been just three official visits of parliamentary delegates between our countries. Last year, a Mongolian parliamentary delegation headed by MP R.Amarjargal visited our country,”

“Mongolian singer's win in the 2017 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition made me feel proud. When we have recently visited the Oyu Tolgoi mine in Umnugobi aimag, I was very satisfied with two things; firstly Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine is mega-project with gigantic constructions and secondly, Mongolians are so skilled to work shoulder by shoulder with world’s experienced professionals,” he said.

The sides also exchanged views on relations and cooperation in other sectors, such as education, culture and defense.
