Ulaanbaatar April 29, 2025 /MONTSAME/. Mongolia celebrates April 28th of each year as the “Mongolian Generals' Day,” paying respects to its Generals.

Chairman Amarbayasgalan remarked, “Dear Generals, you are the leaders of today, the pride, honor, strength, living history, and embodiment of the exemplary deeds of the Mongolian Army, Armed Forces, and Law Enforcement agencies. I am truly proud of the path, experience, bravery, and patriotic dedication of the Generals who have chosen to weather the difficult and challenging road, all for the independence of our Motherland and its prosperity during peacetime. I would like to pay my deepest respects.”
The Chairman of the State Great Khural stated, “There are 33 generals holding senior leadership positions in special government services. Those who bear the highest military rank exemplify not only outstanding personal qualities but also the virtues of true public servants and role models. That is why the State and Government hold generals in the highest regard, the military salutes them with deep respect, and the people look up to them with pride. On behalf of the State Great Khural and myself, I express heartfelt gratitude to you and your families and wish you continued success and well-being.”
