🇷🇺🇲🇳 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Mongolia Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh held a meeting in Ulaanbaatar.
💬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.
You have listed the dates we will be commemorating this year. Each of these dates holds special significance for both Russia and Mongolia. I would like to add that Erdenet, which you have mentioned, was planned by architects from Leningrad.
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.
The Intergovernmental Commission has been working proactively and there are good results. During our discussions today, we will undoubtedly touch upon the key trends in our economic collaboration.
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.

🇷🇺🇲🇳 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%. It is notable that trade settlements between our two countries are almost entirely denominated in currencies other than the US dollar and the euro. <...>
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.

@RusEmbMalta Press release
On the upcoming visit of the President Vladimir Putin to Mongolia
(September 3, 2024)
Ahead of his visit to #Mongolia, Vladimir #Putin gave a written interview to the Mongolian Onoodor Newspaper.
Key points:
🔷 The development of comprehensive and mutually beneficial partnership with Mongolia, our close neighbour and old friend, has always been and remains among the priorities of Russia’s foreign policy in #Eurasia.
🔷 The main reason for today’s tragic situation in #Ukraine is the deliberate anti-Russia policy pursued by the US-led collective West. Ukraine virtually turned into a bargaining chip that the West used to achieve its geopolitical ambitions.
🔷 In 2014, the Americans and their satellites organised an armed coup d'état in Ukraine. It was inspired and driven by radical neo-Nazi groups, which subsequently came to determine Kiev’s government policy in general.
