Neither public sector funds nor development ows – singly or combined – are adequate to full this need. Private sector investment constitutes a vital third pillar in these efforts. Yet our data show a slowdown in these ows at exactly this critical juncture for humankind and the planet when more should be invested. This made UNCTAD’s World Investment Forum 2018 a timely and propitious platform to have a meeting of some of the world’s great minds to thrash out ideas, solutions and partnerships.

  • SCO Brief May 2019.Pdf
    Ministry of External Affairs [Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Division] ***** BRIEF ON SCO The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is a eight-member multilateral organization, established on 15 June 2001 in Shanghai, China by the leaders of China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. These countries, except for Uzbekistan, had been members of the Shanghai Five group, formed on 26 April 1996 with the signing of the Treaty on Deepening Military Trust in Border Regions. In 2001, during the annual summit in Shanghai, the five member nations first admitted Uzbekistan in the Shanghai Five mechanism (thus transforming it into the Shanghai Six). Thereafter, on 15 June 2001 the Declaration of Shanghai Cooperation Organization, was signed and in June 2002 the heads of the SCO Member States signed the SCO Charter which expounded on the organization’s purposes, principles, structures and forms of operation, and established it in international law. At the July 2005 Astana Summit, India, Iran and Pakistan were granted Observer status. In July 2015 in Ufa, Russia, the SCO decided to admit India and Pakistan as full members. India and Pakistan signed the memorandum of obligations in June 2016 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, thereby starting the formal process of joining the SCO as full members. On 9 June 2017, at the historic summit in Astana, India and Pakistan officially joined SCO as full-fledged members. The SCO has established relations with the United Nations in 2004 (where it is an observer in the General Assembly), Commonwealth of Independent States in 2005, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2005, the Collective Security Treaty Organization in 2007, the Economic Cooperation Organization in 2007, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in 2011, the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) in 2014, and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific in 2015 (ESCAP), United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in 2018.

  • Modelling Gas Supply Systems with a High Role of Autonomous Consumers (The Case of Mongolia)
    E3S Web of Conferences 209, 05010 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202020905010 ENERGY-21 Modelling gas supply systems with a high role of autonomous consumers (the case of Mongolia) Darya Maksakova1,*, and Sergei Popov1 1Melentiev Energy Systems Institute of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Department of Complex and Regional Problems in Energy, 664033 130 Lermontov St., Irkutsk, Russia Abstract. The paper presents a tool to optimize gas infrastructure systems and analyses some aspects of modelling related to autonomous gas consumers. A model of national gas infrastructure creation in Mongolia is proposed. The model is linked with the model of the regional Northeast Asian gas market and the financial models of gas infrastructure facilities. The model determines the optimal design of the national gas infrastructure system, i.e. the number of the facilities, their capacities, locations and the transport modes for connecting the consumption centres. The role of autonomous consumers is considered by introducing the demand for liquefied natural gas separately from the demand for pipeline gas. The scope of the model application is demonstrated by an illustrative example. The results show the rational natural gas import and distribution patterns. The need for expanding the energy cooperation between Mongolia and the other Northeast Asian countries to create gas industry in Mongolia is highlighted. Keywords. Mongolia, Northeast Asia, gas supply infrastructure, modelling. 1 Introduction at the sessions of the Northeast Asian Natural Gas & Pipeline Forum (NAGPF). As a result of the researches Mongolia has rich coal, crude oil, solar and wind energy conducted by the NAGPF, the demand for gas in resources.
