Governor Nam Kyung-pil of Gyeonggi Province will visit the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar from the 15th to 18th to establish strategic cooperation with Mongolia on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Mongolia.

On the 16th, Governor Nam will meet with Erdene BAT-UUL, mayor of Ulaanbaatar, at Ulaanbaatar City Hall and sign a friendship and cooperation agreement between the two regions.

On the 17th, he will attend the completion ceremony for the 'Smart Classroom' in Chingeltei District, Ulaanbaatar.

The Smart Classroom project provides digital learning infrastructure including electronic whiteboards, tablet PCs, and wireless networks, as well as digital textbook content to expand Korean language education in Mongolia. It is one of the ODA projects that Gyeonggi Province has been pursuing in Mongolia since last year.

During his visit, Governor Nam will also attend the 'Eurasian Goodwill Express' official event hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Eurasian Goodwill Express, a train journey crossing Eurasia from Vladivostok, Russia to Berlin, Germany, is a flagship project to realize the 'Eurasian Initiative' that President Park Geun-hye presented as a key national policy task in 2013.
