💬 President Putin:
First of all, I want to thank you for the invitation.
It has, in fact, become a good tradition for us to meet in Mongolia every five years to mark the remarkable highly significant events in our shared history.
I am also pleased to note that the Russian-Mongolian relations have been developing on a new foundation. Our countries have experienced growth in trade, despite the various challenges we have faced, including those you have mentioned, such as COVID.
In fact, relations between our countries are progressing well across all areas. Apart from the economy and politics, where we continue to cooperate quite actively, I would like to highlight the successful collaboration in culture and education.
To conclude my opening remarks, I would like to extend an invitation for you to visit Kazan, Russia, where the #BRICS Summit will be held later this year. This will be the first top-level event following the recent expansion of the association. I hope you will take part in the #BRICSOutreach – #BRICSplus format.
We look forward to seeing you in Russia.

🇷🇺🇲🇳 On September 3, Russia's President Vladimir Putin and Chairman of the State Great Khural of Mongolia Dashzegve Amarbayasgalan had a meeting in Ulaanbaatar.
💬 Vladimir Putin: I am also very pleased to visit friendly Mongolia.
Together with the Mongolian people we marked a milestone event – an Anniversary of our common victory over the aggressors on the river Khalkhin Gol. In those battles we ensured Mongolia’s independence and territorial integrity.
We have just noted with Mr President in the course of our talks that Mongolia turned out to be a very loyal and reliable ally of the Soviet Union and Russia during our fight with German Nazis during the Great Patriotic War.
Throughout decades Russia and Mongolia have maintained very close and friendly relations, and today they are effectively developing. Trade is growing. We interact through our parliaments; last year our interparliamentary commission held its first meeting.
We give very much importance to interaction between our government authorities. In today's world and in our countries it is an essential addition to the development of contacts between the executive bodies. Direct interaction between the parliaments creates a very good atmosphere and contributes to the creation of a legal framework for such interaction.
Thank you very much for the warm reception.

🇷🇺🇲🇳 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Mongolia Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh took part in the celebrations marking the 85th anniversary of the joint victory of Soviet and Mongolian armed forces over the Japanese militarists on the river Khalkhin Gol.
The two Leaders laid a wreath at the monument to Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov at the Georgy Zhukov Memorial Complex in Ulaanbaatar.
ℹ️ In 1939, Georgy Zhukov was awarded the first golden star of the Hero of the Soviet Union for the operation on the Khalkhin Gol river, which resulted in victory of the Soviet-Mongolian forces over the Japanese Kwantung Army. In 1969, he was awarded the title of Hero of the Mongolian People’s Republic.
The Memorial Complex includes a museum and a monument. It was opened in 1979 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Khalkhin Gol victory, at a site where in 1939–1940 the residence of Georgy Zhukov was located.
Presidents Putin and Khurelsukh talked briefly with a Khalkhin Gol war veteran and search party members and participants in the 6th “Memory is Stronger than Time” youth expedition.

🇷🇺🇲🇳 Statement by President of Russia Vladimir Putin following bilateral talks with President of Mongolia Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh (Ulaanbaatar, September 3, 2024).
💬 I am convinced that our military brotherhood forged during the grim years of ordeals, as well as long-time traditions of neighbourliness and mutual assistance, will continue to serve as a solid foundation for the friendly Russian-Mongolian relations.
These relations are developing dynamically and becoming stronger in full conformity with the Interstate Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, signed here, in Ulaanbaatar, exactly five years ago. <...>
📈 Both countries paid great attention to fostering mutually beneficial trade and investment ties. Russia is one of Mongolia’s largest foreign economic partners. In the first seven months of 2024, trade between Russia and Mongolia grew by over 21%. <...>
Russia has long been a reliable supplier of energy resources for the Mongolian economy. Over 90% of petrol and diesel used by Mongolia in 2023 was imported from Russia. <...>
There are good prospects for our cooperation in the gas sector. We have completed the design documentation for the Soyuz Vostok gas pipeline extension, which will run for nearly 1,000 kilometres through Russia, Mongolia and China. The project is at the stage of state expert appraisal and assessment of its potential environmental footprint. <...>
Of course, it is important to us that Mongolians love and learn the Russian language. Over the decades, Mongolia has established a good teaching system that opens up broad opportunities for studying, expanding business, academic and cultural links between our countries. Russia will continue to support the teaching of the Russian language in Mongolia, including in its border regions. <...>
🌐 As we covered the international agenda, we reaffirmed that Russia and Mongolia have similar views on many topical global issues. Our cooperation programme continues.
