Mongolia has agreed to the establishment of a camp for North Korean refugees on its soil if it can get financial assistance from abroad, a German doctor said. Norbert Vollertsen said that he would renovate a military base, which was used by soldiers of the former Soviet Union, to set up the camp to provide accommodation for up to 1,200 North Korean defectors. The German said that he has already secured some money to begin the renovation work. Vollertsen said that he would visit Mongolia in August for the project, for which he has consulted with the Mongolian government through a South Korean nongovernmental organization.
I guess I'd rather be in Outer Mongolia than North Korea, too. |
