We made clarifications regarding the cultural program scheduled during Naadam Festival from the Deputy Minister of Education, Culture and Science Ya.Tumurbaatar.
-There were talks that Jennifer Lopes is to perform during Naadam in Mongolia?
-Deputy Minister has received the Naadam Festival Organizing Sub-Committee. There were talks to invite foreign performers during Naadam Festival.
Over 4000-5000 people are participating in the Opening Ceremony event including students from universities and secondary schools.
This issue has been resolved during the meeting held yesterday. The organizing committee made changes to the performers during Naadam. The rationale behind the change is that Naadam Festival should introduce Mongolian culture to guests, tourists and anyone interested in the Festival.
-There were rumorst that adviser from Korea is hired to produce the Naadam Festival?
-This was one of the issues discussed at the committee meeting. We have approached Russia, China, Korea and North Korea for the advisory and in accordance with this director from Korea worked in Mongolia on the Naadam opening and closing ceremony on use of new equipment and directing the drum show.
Korea has extensive experience in organizing Olympic games and World Cup. Drum show was organized during those events in Korea and the Korean director was one of the organizers of the show. In this regard we have invited to get advice. In other words, other main organizational and performance related direction is being directed by Mongolian professionals.

-It is impossible to disclose on the opening ceremony. Over 4000-5000 people are participating in the Opening Ceremony event including students from universities and secondary schools. 1000 soldiers are at the training as well at the Tavantolgoi base.
