M. Mishustin:

Dear Mr. Zandanshatar!

First of all, I would like to ask you to convey greetings and best wishes to the President of Mongolia, the esteemed Mr. Khurelsukh, from the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and from me personally.

Mongolia is our strategic partner in the Asia-Pacific region. Our relations are based on long-standing traditional friendship and mutual support between the peoples of Russia and Mongolia.

The talks between President Vladimir Putin and Mr. Khurelsukh on May 7 in Moscow and September 2 in Beijing confirmed our mutual interest in further deepening Russian-Mongolian multifaceted cooperation. Through our governments, we are creating favorable conditions for advancing strategic projects, particularly in energy, industry, transportation, and humanitarian affairs.

Our intergovernmental commission on trade, economic, scientific, and technical cooperation is actively working. It is chaired by our Minister of Natural Resources, Alexander Kozlov. We anticipate the appointment of a new co-chair from the Mongolian side. We propose holding the next meeting of the intergovernmental commission before the end of the year in Ulaanbaatar, subject to agreement with you on a date.

We are strengthening humanitarian cooperation and assisting Mongolia in training its national personnel. More than 70,000 Mongolian citizens have graduated from Russian higher and secondary educational institutions. It is gratifying that you, Mr. Prime Minister, are one of these Mongolian representatives. We believe it is important to expand the teaching of Russian in Mongolia.

We regularly hold Culture Days and Russian-Mongolian Friendship Days, joint scientific research expeditions, and are also expanding our contacts in the sports sector.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of our Great Victory over German Nazism and Japanese militarism. The joint participation of President Vladimir Putin and Mr. Khurelsukh in the commemorative events in Moscow in May and Beijing in September became a new symbol of friendship and a reminder of the shared historical memory of the peoples of Russia and Mongolia.

Dear Mr. Zandanshatar, I give you the floor.
