| Interview with Sh. Bayarmaa, Director at Saran Ekh LLC |
|  |
What is your company’s most significant accomplishment in the past year? What is your company’s priority for this year?
Last year, after successfully overcoming the difficult period of COVID-19, we were able to quickly recover the economy that had fallen into recession. Now we are working with the goal of increasing our distribution by enlarging the store area established in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China.
We, as a professional team, equipped with the most modern technology and the latest innovations, collaborates to deliver exceptional results. With two decades of experience in the industry, our journey began in 2004 when I committed all our savings to acquire the necessary equipment for our manufacturing facility.
Under the Saran Cashmere brand, we dedicate ourselves to crafting high-quality products. Our unique offering attracted clients with specific requirements, particularly those seeking goods in small quantities that matched our initial capacity.
Since then, Saran Ekh has undergone a remarkable transformation. We have expanded our production capacity, broadened our product range to encompass not only cashmere but also sheep, yak wool, and textile products. Today, we are proud to employ a team of 50 skilled workers, furthering our commitment to excellence and quality.
Please describe yourself in 5 words.
Honest, hardworking, responsible and disciplined, highly organised.
Please tell us what kind of book/ movie/ drama or any other arts that made the deepest impression on you recently.
For me, the performance of composer Sharav's "Sersen tal" in France was truly enjoyable and memorable.
What has been the most significant benefit of being a member of EuroChamber Mongolia?
EuroChamber serves as a bridge, allowing us to introduce what we've created into the European market. |

At the outset of the Meeting, Deputy Speaker Odontuya expressed her satisfaction with the successful organization of the 16th Consultative Meeting of the European Parliament and the State Great Khural of Mongolia. Deputy Speaker Odontuya stressed that the female parliamentarians in the State Great Khural will actively work to strengthen friendly relations between the two legislative bodies in the international arena, founded on the core values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.
Tomáš Zdechovský, the Member of the European Parliament and Chair of the European Parliament's Delegation for Cooperation with Central Asia and Mongolia (DCAS) thanked Mongolia for setting a positive example in the region by striving to achieve the goal of a gender-sensitive parliament that respects human rights. He pledged to work to increase the number of women in the parliament and support their resources in every possible way.
At the Meeting, Member of Parliament Munkhtsetseg emphasized that Mongolia is paying attention to improving its legal environment based on the recommendations and observations of international organizations to promote women's participation and gender equality at the decision-making level. She stated that the review of the Law on Political Parties is an important step towards increasing the proportion of women parliamentarians and improving their participation and leadership at all levels.
The Chair of DCAS Tomáš Zdechovský noted that women outnumber men in the European Parliament, and as a result, two-thirds of leadership and management positions are held by women. Adiyasuren, a member of the State Great Khural, emphasized the importance of implementing a comprehensive solution to improve the education of voters who endorse socially traditional values, establish equal pay for equal work, and support women at all levels.
Tomáš Zdechovský commended Mongolian youth for their knowledge and attitude and expressed his willingness to provide comprehensive support to strengthen representative democracy and promote equal participation.
