Ulaanbaatar, February 11, 2025 /MONTSAME/. On February 10, 2025, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mongolia, the Mongolian National Academy of Sciences, and the Institute for Strategic Studies of the National Security Council of Mongolia jointly organized the “Yalta Conference-80 and Mongolia.”
Director of the Institute for International Studies Associate Professor D. Zolboo noted, “The Yalta Conference is undoubtedly one of the key historical milestones that secured Mongolia’s independence. Therefore, we are organizing this academic conference in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Yalta Conference.”
Researcher at the Institute for Strategic Studies under the National Security Council Dr. T. Sukhbaatar stated, “The Yalta Conference, held 80 years ago, stands out as an exceptional event in the history of our country’s independence. As a result of that Conference, a nationwide referendum was held on October 20, 1945, involving all eligible citizens. Every single participant in that referendum voted 100 percent in favor of Mongolia’s independence. Therefore, we need to undertake specific measures to educate future generations about the historical importance of the events of October 20, 1945, and to enhance their understanding.”
Professor at the School of International Relations and Social Studies of the Mongolian University of the Humanities Dr. Professor D. Ulambayar noted, “The Yalta Conference was a meeting between the leaders of the three Allied powers, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Great Britain, held in Yalta. One of its major outcomes was the recognition of Mongolia’s status quo, which greatly contributed to strengthening Mongolia’s independence and sovereignty on the international stage.”
At the Scientific Conference, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Dr. R. Bold delivered a presentation on “The Yalta Conference and Mongolia,” Dr. Professor D. Ulambayar of the School of International Relations and Social Studies at the University of the Humanities spoke on “The Legal Recognition of Status Quo in Diplomacy: Its Essence,” Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Professor D. Bayarkhuu presented on “Soviet Union–Republic of China Negotiations and Agreements Concerning Mongolia,” and Dr. N. Khishigt of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences discussed “The National Referendum: International Outcomes.” Each presentation was followed by a discussion.
