India and Mongolia will sign an agreement on the transfer of sentenced prisoners during the forthcoming visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to that country beginning May 17.
"The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister, today gave its approval for signing of an agreement between India and Mongolia on the transfer of sentenced persons," an official release said.
Signing and ratification of the agreement on transfer of sentenced persons between India and the Mongolia will enable sentenced persons to be near their families, and would help in the process of their social rehabilitation.
Once the agreement is signed and ratified, Mongolian convicted prisoners can be transferred to their home country and prisoners of Indian origin can be brought to India, to serve the remaining part of their sentence, the release said.
