The friendly relations with our spiritual neighbor – India have been expanding in the last years, and we genuinely value the importance of high level visits of our leaders results of which are translated into the deepening and intensification of our cooperation. In particular, I would like to point out the significance of the first state visit of His Excellency Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India paid to our country in the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between our two countries which has leveraged our bilateral relations to the status of strategic partnership and re-affirmed the traditionally friendly bond between our two nations. 

Your Excellency, could you tell us about the areas of cooperation happening between our countries? What are, in your view, the potentials and demands for expanding our cooperation?

Mongolia and India have a longstanding history of bilateral relations, especially our cultural ties can be counted for more than two thousand years when Mongolia adopted Buddhist culture originated from India. Since then, Buddhism has been influential in the morality, culture, arts and religion of our nation, and we have been following peaceful philosophy of Buddhism since then.
