Ulaanbaatar, November 28, 2024 /MONTSAME/. The State Great Khural of Mongolia held a session at the “Ikh Khuraldai Hall” commemorating the Centennial of the Proclamation of the Mongolian People’s Republic and the Adoption of the First Constitution on November 26, 2024. 

At the outset of the session, General Secretary of the State Great Khural Baasandorj Barsuren placed the original copy of the Constitution of Mongolia on the honorary podium of the Ikh Khuraldai Hall. The session was participated by President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai, the Constitutional Court, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Prosecutor General, Members of the Government, Head of the President’s Office, General Secretary of the National Security Council, Heads of organizations directly under the State Great Khural and other high-level government officials, Diplomatic Missions and Heads of International Organizations in Mongolia.

After the National Anthem was sung, Chairman of the State Great Khural Amarbayasgalan Dashzegve opened the session, emphasizing that Mongolia, an independent country with over 2200 years of statehood tradition, should remember the great deeds of the brilliant Mongol statesmen and valiant fighters in regaining independence that was lost during tumultuous times in history. The Speaker underlined that instead of comparing the First Constitution adopted in 1924 with today’s Constitution with its emphasis on human rights and democratic government, we should commemorate it for laying the foundation for a sovereign Mongolian governance and a comprehensive national legal system. During the 100 years since the adoption of the First Constitution, the Constitution of Mongolia has continuously been refined and improved, noted the Speaker. 

President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa remarked that the Day of the Proclamation of the Mongolian People’s Republic and the Adoption of the First Constitution is a day for Mongolians, as the sovereigns of their nation, to take pride in their independence. The Head of State emphasized that Mongolians should recognize themselves as guardians of the legacy of the Great Mongol Empire, established by Great Emperor Chinggis Khaan, and honor the values of Mongolia's statehood traditions, history, and Constitution. President Khurelsukh called for concerted efforts to pass these on to future generations, strengthen national unity, and collectively advance Mongolia’s development.

Chairman Amarbayasgalan presented the Resolution of the State Great Khural No.43 on Revering the Constitution of Mongolia, which calls on Government organizations, Mongolian Diplomatic Missions abroad, and citizens of Mongolia to study and esteem the Constitution of Mongolia. The Resolution came into effect on November 26, 2024. It also calls on educational institutes of all levels to teach and promote the contents of the Constitution, Mongolian independence, national sovereignty, human rights, and freedom.
