Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. EuroChamber’s second
webinar on “Logistics & Connectivity with Europe” was held on June 29.

Committee of the “Switch Off Air Pollution” project was successfully organized
online. The meeting was attended by Ambassador Extraordinary and

efforts to reduce air pollution in the ger area. This is the second meeting of the
