The 120th session will host Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in April 2009.
During the session, N.Enkhbold met with IPU Secretary-General Anders B.Johnsson. Meantime, a Secretary-General of the Parliament Office Ts.Sharavdorj held meetings with his counterparts from Canada, Australia, Poland, Thailand, New Zealand, and India to exchange views on bilateral cooperation issues.
