--- In
June 2003, one of the Mongolian Parliament members, Mr.Gundalai
paid a visit to HRC, with the hope that HRC could help the
construction of SHP stations in Mongolia. After going back,
he sent invitation to HRC and HRC dispatched Deputy Chief
of International Cooperation, Sr. Engineer Mr.Li Zhiwu for
the mission to Mongolia from 10 to 17 July. Site trips were
conducted to SHP resources, load demand, mode of SHP exploitation,
installed capacity and development arrangement at the two
villages in the northwestern part of Mongolia. Preliminary
comments have been presented to the Mongolian side in regard
with SHP resources, load demand, mode of SHP exploitation,
installed capacity and development arrangement. The Mongolian
side expressed that survey work and collection of data concerning
topography, geology, discharge, temperature, construction
materials etc would be completed within two months, and
the related data will be sent to HRC. Based on that, HRC
will complete the feasibility study work. Meanwhile, the
Mongolian side would seek to settle the funds concerned
and try to start the construction in 2004. (2003-08-05)
