Appointment of Italy's First Honorary Consul in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

PRESS RELEASE

The Embassy of Italy to China and Mongolia is pleased to announce the appointment of Italy’s first Honorary Consul in Ulaanbaatar, competent for the whole Mongolia, Mr. Alfredo Savino.

Mr. Savino has been an active member of the Italian community in Ulaanbaatar for many years, having unofficially served as consular focal point for more than 3 years before being appointed Honoray Consul. He is also professor of Italian language and culture at the Mongolian National University.

On March 17th, on the occasion of Ambassador of Italy’s visit to Ulaanbaatar, a ceremony was held at the Best Western Tuushin Hotel to celebrate the positive development for Italian-Mongolian relations.

The Ambassador of Italy to China and Mongolia, Alberto Bradanini, said: “Given the current lack of a diplomatic mission, the Honorary Consul plays a critical role for Italy in Mongolia, helping to provide essential consular services to Italian citizens and to deliver our trade, investment, tourism and cultural messages to the Mongolian interlocutors and friends. Mr. Savino’s appointment enhances this network and we are delighted to have him formally in our team.”

On his appointment, Mr. Savino said: “It is a great honour to have the opportunity to connect Italy, where I was born, and Mongolia, where I have lived for the past 6 years. Both Countries have incredible natural beauties and a great history behind, and I want to think myself as a heir of the first Italian missionaries that travelled through these lands, thereby creating the first interactions between our two Countries.”

Mr. Savino is a native of Milan, in Northern Italy. He first arrived in Mongolia in 2008 and have lived in UB for more than 6 years.
