🇷🇺🇲🇳 In Beijing, President Vladimir Putin met with held a meeting with President of Mongolia Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh.
💬 President Putin: Mr President, friends. I am very happy to see you again. I remember our Moscow meeting in 2021, when we marked the 100th anniversary of our diplomatic relations.
The Soviet Union was the first country to recognise Mongolia, and next September, we will celebrate the 85th anniversary of our joint victory in the Battles of Khalkhin Gol. Over 10,000 Red Army soldiers and commanders gave their lives defending Mongolia.
Much was done at that time to build the foundation and economy of Mongolia, its healthcare and education systems. In 2019, a backbone document, the Treaty on Strategic Partnership, was signed.
📈 Last year, our mutual trade increased significantly, by some 40 percent. This year, the growth slowed slightly. But we have something to discuss in this area, and our intergovernmental commission should pay proper attention to it.
We also have major projects in many areas, including joint projects with the People’s Republic of China. These are, for instance, the construction of a gas pipeline through Mongolia to China. Everyone approved of this project and all parties want to participate. The next step is its implementation. I think, we will be moving fast.
There are also such famous flagship projects as the Ulaanbaatar Railway. We will talk about it later in detail.

🇷🇺🇲🇳 The President of Russia Vladimir Putin began a series of his bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the SCO Summit with a conversation with President of Mongolia Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh.
💬 Vladimir Putin: This year, we celebrate a remarkable date, the 85th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Khalkin Gol against Japanese aggressors.
Overall, the relations between our countries have developed throughout the decades on a very positive and firm foundation of cooperation and friendship.
It should be noted that last year, we recorded a slight decrease in mutual trade; however, there has been substantial growth this year, and we have gained a good momentum during the first six months of 2024.
🎓 We continue to develop our humanitarian ties. I want to note that the quota of Mongolian students in Russia is one of the highest – 620 people. We are willing to raise it further.
I have spoken about our trade and economic cooperation, but when necessary, especially if Mongolia faces issues caused by climate change, we make efforts to provide help in the form of grain supplies, other goods and energy, which are delivered free of charge.
Speaking of which, energy remains one of the major areas of cooperation for us. This work is going smoothly, but there is room for expansion. We can discuss boosting supplies of hydrocarbons and electricity.
🤝 I am very glad to have this opportunity to exchange opinions on the entire scope of our relations, including our coordinated efforts in international affairs. We work extensively at the #UN and other platforms, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (#SCO).
Right now, we are finalising a treaty between Mongolia and the #EAEU, and I believe it will be another progressive step to formally strengthen the legal framework of our relations and create actual new opportunities for expanding our cooperation.
