Dr. Abdullah is in Ulaanbataar to represent India at the Inaugural Ceremony of the President of Mongolia, Mr. Tsakhia Elbegdorj, who has been re-elected to a second four year term. The oath taking ceremony was attended by members of Mongolia?s parliament and government as well as representatives from several countries, including Ministerial level delegations from Russia, China and France.
India and Mongolia have close and warm ties underpinned by civilisational and cultural linkages with this predominantly Buddhist nation. A large number of Mongolians travel to India for spiritual, educational and medical purposes. Indian cuisine and cinema are becoming increasingly popular in this landlocked nation of 3 million people.
Bilateral relations have expanded during the past few years to cover cooperation in defence and strategic issues. President Elbegdorj had chosen India as his first overseas destination after taking over as President of Mongolia for his first term in 2009. The government?s decision to depute a senior Cabinet Minister to the Inauguration underlines the importance that India places on further strengthening its bilateral relations with Mongolia.
