ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) Youth Week (Model ASEM Hanoi 2016) took place this March 31 to April 7 in Hanoi of Vietnam.
Themed “Stronger Actions to Address Zero Hunger Challenge”, the action brought together 104 youths and students from 30 countries. They shared views on effective measures for reducing poverty rate and famine in many countries. To unite their voice on combating these problems, they met several times on political, social-economic and cultural issues, and worked out a final document. It was given to Chang Ngoc An, a senior official at the ASEM and director of the Foreign Ministry Department of Vietnam on Economic Cooperation.
Mongolia was represented by a student from the Mongolian University of Science and Technology (MUST) G.Javzmaa, who received a certification on chairing the general debate of the event. The action continued for three days in a view of that Mongolia is the host of the forthcoming ASEM Summit.
The Ambassador of Mongolia to Vietnam Mr D.Enkhbat received G.Javzmaa and wished her success.
