The time has come for Mongolians to break the bluish light and tame it, so that their dreams and future potential can be fulfilled. This has become a discussion with potential risks. Mongolia wants to move forward with the others into the nuclear energy era. But there is much to know and learn about this new era as there are manifold challenges that we must contemplate and of which we must be aware. The MMJ will share bits and pieces of those challenges with you in its current issue. Discussions, articles and facts in the MMJ May issue have not been published in the Mongolian editions so far.
The MMJ believes that this special issue will provide quite a bit of information and some ideas: for example, how parliament’s working group could develop their proposals, as well as suggestions on drafting Mongolia’s atomic energy laws and the government policy on Uranium. You will find it is the MMJ’s tradition to highlight and analyze the government’s positions, as well as the merits and the objectives of investors on almost every page of its editions. Hopefully, our respectful readers appreciate that every sheet of the MMJ is also devoted to the art of debating, mutual understanding, and mutual respect.
Last fall, when the crises started impacting global economies, we started the MMJ amidst a chain of bad news, and today, the journal editorial staff is happy to send out its seventh issue, fresh from the presses. In only half a year, economic life went through different challenges including a sudden drop in profits and questions being raised about its maturity. Now, however, the trend toward new development seems ready to commence. All these concerns and expectations are highlighted in the white sheets of the edition. So far the MMJ aimed to provide harmony and mutual understanding by writing about amendments to the state budget law, geo-economic issues, and proposals of investment agreement. Lately, we have started paying attention to more complicated, argumentitive issues about mineral exploration.
The Next issues will be about gold mining, rehabilitation, the environment, bidding on Tavan Tolgoi and infrastructure projects. However, the uranium topic will always remain in the fore for MMJ.
Mining in general is as yet largely foreign to the Mongolian public, and thus exists as a complicated topic that fosters concerns and fear. Therefore, accurate and fair information about mining from you the investors and transparency from the government officials will help allay the fears of Mongolian people. Our regular readers are aware that only the MMJ publishes detached analysis about events in the country, the concerns of its people, and decisions made by politicians.
The days are coming when the mining projects will be put into production. Thus, a reflection on this time period, its atmosphere, and the opinions on these events will be included in the MMJ. As always,
everyone is welcome to write his or her piece of the story.
