Politics
Ulaanbaatar, July 31, 2025 /MONTSAME/. Speakers of Parliament from 84 countries, 18 Deputy Speakers, and Members of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) are discussing how to promote responsibility in international relations, support democracy, steer parliamentary diplomacy toward peace and mutual understanding, amplify citizens' voices within the United Nations, and deliver tangible outcomes on international commitments.
Chairman of the State Great Khural
of Mongolia Amarbayasgalan Dashzegve delivered remarks during the General
Debate themed “A World in Crisis: Parliamentary Cooperation and Multilateralism
for Peace and Justice for All.”
Chairman Amarbayasgalan emphasized
the importance of equal participation by countries with diverse
characteristics, cultures, traditions, customs, and values in shaping a new
world order and building a truly multipolar global system.
Chairman of the State Great Khural
of Mongolia further underlined that Mongolia adheres to an independent, open,
peaceful, and multi-pillar foreign policy, and resolving any challenges through
harmony and dialogue is essential to strengthening global peace and security.
In this context, Chairman Amarbayasgalan presented Mongolia’s recent
Constitutional Amendments aimed at reinforcing parliamentary governance and
ensuring equitable participation of various social groups. These include
increasing the number of Members of Parliament to 126 and introducing a mixed
electoral system. As a result of these reforms, the number of female MPs has
risen to 32 — an achievement aligned with the targets set by the
Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Chairman Amarbayasgalan also noted
that the State Great Khural of Mongolia, in approving its 2024–2028 Strategic
Plan, introduced a human-centered “Three Pillars of Excellence” Initiative,
reflecting its commitment to human rights and the rule of law, and expressed
confidence that these efforts will further consolidate the foundations of a
democratic society.
Chairman Amarbayasgalan Dashzegve
concluded by reaffirming that Mongolia regards democratic and representative
systems based on multilateral cooperation and public participation as essential
to peace and stability. Mongolia will continue to fulfill its commitments to
the international community and work steadfastly with the IPU and global
parliaments to build a more peaceful future.
