Mongolia’s joining UN secured 200 countries’ recognition of its independence
视频55 years ago, on this day, Mongolia officially joined the United Nations as its 101st member. Becoming a member of the United Nations was for Mongolia an essential mean to gain recognition of its independence by all UN member states.
About 200 countries throughout the world have recognized Mongolia as an independent country. After the victories of Liberation Movement in 1911 and People’s Revolution in 1921 and even after the adoption of Mongolia’s first constitution in 1924, our two neighbors did not rush to recognize Mongolia’s sovereignty until 1946.
During 15 years untill 1961 Mongolia had been taking tremendous endeavors for entering the United Nations. Now, Mongolia has maintained diplomatic ties with 173 countries and is a party to 70 intergovernmental organizations and 240 international agreements, treaties and conventions.
4 Secretaries-General of the UN have paid visit to Mongolia. Our country has deployed more than 9000 its soldiers for UN peacekeeping operations.
