<Erdenetsogt Sarantogos (4th from the left, Mongolian Ambassador to Korea) met President CHOI Oe-chool and had a discussion on talent cultivation plans including Mongolian students’ abroad-study, etc.>


YU (President CHOI Oe-chool) started invitation of Mongolian students.


 This year, Mongolian students studying at YU have significantly increased.As of April 2023, a total of 57 students are enrolled in undergraduate, graduate, and Korean language education centers. Especially, as the Mongolian Embassy in Korea is showing great interest in attracting Mongolian students to YU more Mongolian students will study at YU.


 On March 23rd, Erdenetsogt Sarantogos, Ambassador of Mongolia to Korea, visited YU. She attended the Spring International Conference of the Korean Mongolian Society held at the YU’s LEE Si-won Global Convention Hall. Before the conference, Ambassador Erdenetsogt Sarantogos met President CHOI Oe-chool of YU. 


Ambassador Erdenetsogt Sarantogos met President CHOI and agreed that there is a need for practical cooperation between Mongolia and Korea in various fields, such as the necessity of Mongolia's Saemaul development project and implementation erosion control projects in Mongolia that is suffering from climate change and accelerated desertification. Especially, Ambassador Erdenetsogt Sarantogos was highly interested in cultivation of talents including Mongolian students’ study at YU.


 President CHOI said, “Professionals of Korean development experiences and Saemaul development area will play large roles in Mongolian development. Especially, officials of Mongolian central government and local governments will show synergy effects in establishment and execution of national development policies if they are equipped with the capability and professionality of Saemaul development. We will aggressively help Mongolian officials for their study in YU. YU will play the role to cultivate Mongolian talents as well as officials.”


 Ambassador Erdenetsogt Sarantogos said, “Mongolia's national development policy is consistent with core values of Saemaul Undong. Yu’s aggressive cooperation is required because its expertise in education, research, and talent cultivation for Saemaul development is internationally recognized. I will make recommendations so that Mongolian talents may study at YU. I hope Mongolian Embassy and YU to have close cooperation for expansion of exchanges between the two countries including Mongolian development.


 Meanwhile, Park Chung Hee School of Policy and Saemaul (PSPS) of YU was established in 2011 to cultivate Saemaul leaders of developing countries. Foreigner students studying in PSPS consist of public officials planning policies in respective countries, employees of public institutions, social activists, and professional workers, etc. differently from students of faculties or graduate schools. Until now, Seven persons (6 graduates, and 1 completion student) from Mongolia studied in the PSPS and returned to work as Saemaul development experts.
