DRAFT RESOLUTION WILL BE SUBMITTED ON GIVING STATUS TO SOUMS

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, /MONTSAME/ A Cabinet meeting on Wednesday supported a parliament draft resolution on giving to some soums of provinces a "city with state significance" status.
The draft will be submitted to parliament.
The draft resolution says that soums such as Khovd, Uliastai, Kharkhorin, Erdenet, Darkhan, Zuunmod, Choibalsan, Ondorkhaan, Sukhbaatar (Selenge aimag), and Zamiin-Uud of Dornogobi aimag must be granted this status. These soums operate many important industries, services, universities and research organizations, which play their own roles in the country's development, and Sukhbaatar and Zamiin-Uud are the main international transport junctions through which flow international auto roads and railway.
If to get this status, these soums can develop independently and their part in the state, region and province will rapidly increase, and a migration to the UB city will decrease as well, think the MPs.
