Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ “Close bonds of history, culture and civilization provide the people of India and Mongolia an opportunity to march together towards mutually beneficial cooperation, sustainable development and prosperity,” remarked Dr. Suresh Babu, Ambassador of India to Mongolia on January 29.
The Ambassador was addressing a reception held in Ulaanbaatar in celebration of the 69th Republic Day of India, which fell on January 26.
“We have forged new relationships based on shared values and mutual benefit with many countries, and have elevated these relations into strategic partnerships with a few countries including with Mongolia,” he said.
It was agreed during the 2015 visit of Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India to Mongolia that the two countries would develop strategic partnership.
“Governments of India and Mongolia have been consistently implementing all agreements reached during Prime Minister Modi’s visit. Last year, we had productive and result-oriented interaction including several events and visits covering multiple sectors of bilateral cooperation including border security, defense, energy, disaster management, international cooperation and traditional medicine and other capacity building schemes,” the Ambassador noted.
In 2017, almost 150 Mongolian public servants underwent short-term training courses fully funded by the Government of India in several Indian institutions. “I hope similar number of servants get the training opportunity this year,” the Ambassador added.
The reception was attended by representatives of foreign diplomatic missions in Mongolia, members of Parliament and the Cabinet, government officials and public figures.
Minister of Foreign Affairs D.Tsogtbaatar was present and delivered a speech, in which he highlighted the spiritual and cultural bond the two countries have shared for centuries.
“I believe that Mongolia-India relations were always at a strategic level, and it was only formalized in 2015. There is no single section of the Mongolian society the Mongolia-India relations haven’t touched,” he said.
“With a soft loan from the Indian Government, Mongolia decided to build its first oil refinery, which will be a huge project and one concrete outcome of the bilateral strategic partnership,” said the Minister, expressing his confidence that bilateral relations will continue to flourish in all sectors for the benefit of the future generations.
One of the bilateral events Ambassador Babu mentioned was the academic conference on traditional medicine co-organized by the Embassy of India and the Ministry of Health on December 15. Ambassador Suresh Babu handed over a newly published compilation of all the presentations delivered at the conference to Minister of Foreign Affairs D.Tsogtbaatar and Minister of Defense N.Enkhbold.
