THE GREETING FROM THE CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY

Dear citizens of Mongolia residing in a vast territory with ancient history!

The Government of Mongolia aims to build an internationally competitive country with social and economic development and aligns decisions and activities to the core national interests, securing human rights, freedom, the rule of law, and parliamentary governance.

Furthermore, it is necessary to scientifically evaluate the results of the government’s policies and activities, strengthen achievements and successes, and postpone or, if necessary, stop inefficient, costly, and untimely activities without compromising the continuity of government policies.

Therefore, the Government of Mongolia has evaluated the social and economic environment of the country and is implementing the “New Recovery Policy” approved by the State Ikh Khural (Parliament of Mongolia) in 2021, which prioritizes projects and programs.

One policy objective is to develop a civil service with a competent and optimal organizational structure that meets the needs and requirements of modern free citizens and does not impose any pressure. The priority of the Government Cabinet Secretariat is to improve the legal and policy framework for long-term solutions aimed at resolving wrong personnel selection, not merit-based appointments, and insufficient salary, the basis for corruption and conflict of interest, that harm the civil service reputation.

In addition, within the framework of intensifying the implementation of the regional development policy, improving local partnership, increasing the coordination and correlation of administrative units, and thus diversifying economic activities and increasing jobs, developing friendly and comfortable centers and settlements is one of the directions of Mongolia’s long-term policy.

We will promptly start the necessary reforms and transformations to create a highly efficient government that relies on upon and supports its citizens. We kindly request civil society and political organizations, the private sector, and individuals to regularly provide feedback.
