Oyuuna Zandansuren#s report provides an analysis of the role of graduates of Baikal University in the development of the Mongolian economy. Irkutsk by the number of specialists trained for Mongolia historically occupied the 3rd place in the USSR. There were also reports that, despite the small number of enterprises, the environmental situation in Mongolia (especially in Ulan Bator) remains a serious problem. The issues of economic cooperation and the use of the resource potential of the region were discussed.
Section "Legal aspects of international cooperation"
Moderator: Vladimir Sinichenko, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor. This section gathered a powerful composition of speakers who presented a deep analysis of the legal systems of the two countries. The geography of the participants impressed: from Ulaanbaatar to Krasnoyarsk.
