MINISTER OF MINERAL RESOURCE ABOUT RUSSIANS LETTER

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, /MONTSAME/ At the regular cabinet meeting on Wednesday, a Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy D.Zorigt told about a meeting that ran June 2 on oil products supply among him and Russian officials--Deputy Prime Minister A.Sechin, Deputy Minister of Energy A.Shisnkin, and president of the “Rosneft” state-owned company E.Khudainatov.
He also has spoken about a letter from Russians. "Recently, some media say this letter that puts a pressure on the Mongolian side in oil matters has been sent to our President Ts.Elbegdorj and Ministers. It is not true, besides, this was sent to me," said the Minister to the press after the meeting. ”It is not a pressure, it is just a position of one Russian company--"Rosneft"--on oil issues, like erecting its fuel stations here and selling fuel. This is usual for the bilateral relations," he has added.
But how to deal with this request is our own business, he has underlined, adding that it would be discussed in frames of the oil sector policy.
Mongolia is importing large amounts of oil products from Russia, and some parts from Kazakhstan and China. The Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy has been ordered to introduce the cabinet to present situation and further measures in the oil products supply.
