[Iyrp-gcg] IYRP co-chair elections outcome

[Munkhnasan Nasaa]

Dear Igshaan

Best wishes to you too
I am glad that two co-chairs were elected and now we can work actively for
preparation. The ministry of food, agriculture and light industry is
planning to present an action plan of IYRP to Mongolian government within
the first quarter of 2024.
Therefore, there will be a lot of collaborations needed to be coordinated.
