area. At present, Czech experts cooperate on enhancing the safety of
Armenian nuclear power plants. Fischer's Mongolian trip will be the
first official visit by a Czech prime minister to Mongolia. Fischer
will meet Prime Minister Sukhbaatar Batbold. Both will attend a
ceremonial reception marking the 60th anniversary of bilateral

which Czech development aid has focused in the long run. Bilateral
economic cooperation could further develop mainly in the construction
area and related activities, in raw materials mining and subsequent
recultivation of former mining areas. rtj/dr/pv
