The Prime Minister of Mongolia L.Oyun-Erdene delivered a speech during a morning meeting with representatives of the cultural and creative industries.

"I like the idea that a good attack is a defense," he said. When something expands, it protects itself. Today's meeting is a new economic and cultural page for Mongolia, which seeks to promote its culture internationally. Culture is everything, tourism, innovation, education. In recent years, a culture based on marketing has become quite prevalent. Now we need to focus on distribution. As you probably know, my parents and brothers are all artists.

It's not easy to live at the level of world-class stars in art. Therefore, the government, the private sector and artists must have a common strategy. I have entrusted this content to the Minister of Culture, Ch. Nomin. Give them the opportunity to do what they want and see. Today, I am glad to meet and talk with cultural wealth creators. The Minister of Finance was also invited to the meeting to make the cultural sector a profitable sector. How to bring the rhythm of "The Hu" more policy. Our main goal is to bring out 10 influencers like them and push Mongolian culture. This is called creative production.

We should be grateful for the story of Mongolians in the movie "Marco Polo". Why not propose to make the third chapter of the film in Mongolia and give it a tax deduction? Why can't we post our content on Netflix. Korean series have been uploaded to reach viewers. There are about 3,360 enterprises working in the cultural sector of Mongolia, which is 3.4 percent of the total number of enterprises.

The government will give special support to all cultural content that can be released abroad. Let's call it economics. Of course, we are right to do it internally, and you can do it. However, I would like to encourage you to issue Development Bank and other sources and bonds, provide budget support and establish cooperation for export. For example, there are moviegoers who want to connect to Netflix. How many of you will go to the biggest event in the world, let's send the Minister of Culture to a creative industry meeting, and if necessary, the Prime Minister will visit. We will create a legal environment to reduce taxes for large events and movies. It is a legal environment to create a creative cultural environment. It will be easier to make movies in Mongolia. Let's get rid of our ego and work together without denying each other. The government will not act. It will be very creative. If you take one walk, I will try to take two. Let's work together to create an economically viable cultural sector that generates the same amount of revenue as the mining sector.

After getting acquainted with the activities of the National Center for Cultural Heritage, Prime Minister L.Oyun-Erdene shared his views with representatives of the creative cultural industry.

At the end of the meeting, Prime Minister L.Oyun-Erdene said, “We have set goals for 2024.

- “Set a goal to make a Hollywood movie in Mongolia by 2024.

The Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Nature, Environment and Tourism will be involved. Let the public and private sectors work together. Once the design is ready, it will be possible to make an estimate and submit the initial capital to the 2022 State Budget before the budget is submitted.

-Let's create a legal environment. Issues such as taxes and reinsurance can be resolved in consultation with the Ministry of Justice. The working group should be chaired by the Minister of Culture and include representatives from the sector. I am going to appoint the Minister of Culture as the chairman of the Mongolian-American government commission. It will be official soon. This will be the main window for communication with many parties, including Hollywood. - Our next goal is to create at least five content on Netflex by 2024. Domestic audiences don't know much about it, but let's include films that have been highly rated by foreign experts, or make a film with a foreign company. Even a small part of one big movie may have been made in Mongolia. One run of the movie "Crazy Speed" can be done in the Mongolian Gobi. That's a big deal. We need to improve little by little. The government will support it.

-On the 101st anniversary of the People's Revolution, a big event will be held in Mongolia to promote the festival to the world. Let's get ready for this. Create a content called “Naadam” that highlights Mongolia's state pride and nomadic lifestyle. Set these three goals. "
