<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">By the way, for the near future we will need to advocate for the IYRP by having side event during the COAG in 2020 but, if possible, before that during some other
meeting of FAO governance bodies, as the most important thing we need to do is convince about it to countries’’ permanent representatives to FAO. The request for side event should come from Mongolia government as all the others countries do while requesting
to have international years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
