At the session of the State Great Khural, Biyambatsogt Sandag officially accepted the seal of the parliament and took his seat as speaker, beginning to fulfill his new duties. In his speech, he thanked his colleagues for their trust and support.
The State Great Khural plays a key role in discussing the political issues of the country, and in his speech, Sandag noted that disagreements in a multiparty parliament should not lead to extralegal political games. He emphasized that society expects parliamentarians to adhere to ethics, the rule of law, and justice, highlighting the need to respect the choice of the Mongolian people and to protect the inviolability of the parliament.
In his address, the new speaker noted that despite long discussions about the necessity of governance according to laws, the implementation of this principle leaves much to be desired. He called for the development of laws that take into account human rights and freedoms and address pressing societal issues rationally and timely.
Sandag also expressed support for citizens and entrepreneurs who create jobs, emphasizing that in the context of a complex international situation, the parliament should pursue policies that encourage citizen and business activity, ensuring economic freedom and reducing bureaucratic burdens. He called for sound political decisions aimed at supporting the people and voters.
He underscored the importance of finding quick and effective solutions, reducing state intervention, and developing fair competition in the market as foundations for economic independence.
