Ulaanbaatar, January 16, 2026 /MONTSAME/. Prime Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav met with the Ambassador of the Russian Federation, Evsikov Alexey Nikolaevich, on January 14 to exchange views on some issues related to bilateral relations and cooperation.
At the beginning of the meeting, Prime Minister Zandanshatar
expressed his appreciation to Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Vladimirovich Mishustin for
extending New Year greetings and asked the ambassador to convey his return
greetings in response.
He also exchanged views with the Ambassador on several major
events planned for implementation in 2026. Noting that Mongolia-Russia
relations and cooperation developed actively in 2025, with numerous successful
high-level mutual visits and events, the PM stressed the importance of turning
agreed-upon issues into tangible outcomes.
The PM expressed appreciation for the ratification by both
the Mongolian and Russian sides of the Interim Trade Agreement between Mongolia
and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), noting his expectation that the
agreement will be ratified by the other EAEU member states in the near future.
He said he is confident that the successful implementation
of the Interim Trade Agreement will not only boost trade and economic
cooperation but also serve as an important driver for expanding
people-to-people exchanges.
He also expressed satisfaction with the broad range of
agreements reached during the meeting of the Mongolia–Russia Intergovernmental
Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, and Technical Cooperation, held in
Ulaanbaatar in late December last year. These agreements include increasing the
supply of petroleum products to Mongolia and ensuring their reliable and stable
delivery in the future, as well as continuing the supply of electricity to
Mongolia’s western region.
Ambassador Evsikov expressed his commitment to work actively to implement agreements reached during the high-level meetings, and said that numerous events in the fields of culture, sports, and humanitarian cooperation will be co-organized to jointly mark the 105th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and Mongolia in 2026.
