Polish President’s Visit to Mongolia Highlights Ulaanbaatar’s Ukraine Approach www.thediplomat.com

Polish President Andrzej Duda paid a state visit to Mongolia from April 24 to 26. The visit has been in the works for some time; during his visit to Mongolia in 2022, Zbigniew Rau, the rotating chairman of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and Polish foreign minister, stated that the Polish president’s visit has been planned for a long time.
Marcin Przydach, head of the International Policy Department of the Polish Presidential Office, emphasized that although Mongolia and Poland are geographically distant, both countries have important geographical and geopolitical positions.
During his visit, the Polish president praised Mongolia’s democracy and highlighted the role Mongolia could play in resolving the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. “Poland has for years observed and appreciated Mongolia’s efforts not only to build democracy in the internal arena but to ensure peace and security in the world,” Duda said.
Mongolia and Poland have had diplomatic relations for over 70 years. The total trade volume between the two countries is approximately $100 million. The majority of bilateral trade consists of wool and cashmere, knitted products, fruits and vegetables, consumer goods, and construction materials. Most of these goods are generally imported from Poland.
Overall, regardless of the remote impact of geography, cooperation between the two countries in many fields such as politics, education, culture, and humanitarianism is successfully developing. Poland has expressed its interest in jointly building a copper smelter and a fossil fuel power station, which is much needed in Mongolia.
The Organization for Security Cooperation in Europe, which counts both Poland and Mongolia as members, also enriches their bilateral ties. The OSCE is one of the largest regional organizations with a total of 57 member countries in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
In 2004, Mongolia became the fifth Asian country to cooperate with the OSCE. After nearly a decade worth of efforts, Mongolia became a full member state in November 2012 – the first OSCE member located in East Asia.
The secretary general of the OSCE visited Mongolia in 2006 and 2012, meeting with heads of state, government, and some ministers, which promoted cooperation with the OSCE. Members of Mongolia’s parliament regularly participate in meetings of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, while representatives of Mongolia regularly participate in branch meetings and training sessions.
Since February 2022, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has become a cause of grave concern for the OSCE generally, and particularly for Poland, which borders Ukraine. The OSCE and many European countries have called on its member states to unite and overcome difficulties.
In 2022, as part of Europe’s diplomatic push linked to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, many ministers and representatives from European countries visited Mongolia. During his visit, Polish Foreign Minister and 2022 OSCE Chairman-in-Office Zbigniew Rau emphasized the importance of OSCE cooperation in Mongolia-Poland and Mongolia-OSCE relations.
During his own visit, Duda suggested that Mongolia and Poland face additional threats due to Russia’s invasion. Both countries know from experience what a world based on the use of force, rather than rule of law, looks like, he said. “At all costs, we cannot allow a return to that.”
In the future, Mongolian President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa may visit Poland or other European countries to continue the recent flurry of Mongolia-Europe diplomacy. If so, Khurelsukh may also be interested in visiting Ukraine.
Since the Russian invasion began, more than 50 world leaders have visited Ukraine. Due to this crisis, it is currently difficult to travel to Ukraine by plane. All these leaders have traveled to Ukraine by train via Poland, and the Polish side is responsible for all security issues entering Ukraine. Duda has visited the war-stricken Ukraine region four times in the past. During his recent visit, the Polish president may have shared his experience and knowledge of the situation on the ground in Ukraine with Khurelsukh.
In addition, Khurelsukh gained experience visiting conflict areas during his tenure as prime minister from 2017 to 2021. In 2019, he visited South Sudan, which was experiencing civil war, and had exchanges with Mongolian peacekeeping personnel. It should also be emphasized that after the conflict began, Mongolia’s former President Elbegdorj Tsakhia has visited Ukraine multiple times.
Mongolia is a country that values peace and prosperity. In the past, Ulaanbaatar has attempted to serve as a mediator between the conflicting parties in other crises – for example, hosting talks in Ulaanbaatar to resolve the Korean Peninsula crisis. Although playing the role of mediator in peace and ceasefire negotiations is not the highest priority goal in Mongolia’s foreign policy, the current situation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict highlights the importance of Mongolia’s potential participation in the relevant mediation work.
The political elite of Mongolia have private relationships in both Russia and Ukraine. Among the four presidents of Mongolia who have studied abroad, two received education in present-day Russia, and the other two received education in Ukraine (Elbegdorj at the Lviv Higher Military and Political School, and Bagabandi at the Odessa National Institute of Food Technology). In addition, many elites who received education in these areas during the former Soviet Union continued to express their concerns about the crisis in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy himself has a personal connection to Mongolia: He lived with his parents in the industrial city of Erdenet in northern Mongolia for about four years when he was child. On February 21, at the request of Zelenskyy, Khurelsukh had a phone conversation with the Ukrainian president. This indicates that Mongolia, which has friendly relations with all parties involved in the conflict, may hold some form of peaceful ceasefire negotiations in Ulaanbaatar.
Neighboring China also proposed 12 points for a peaceful ceasefire in February, and Chinese President Xi Jinping indicated further action toward this end in his recent phone call with Zelenskyy. Perhaps Mongolia will also communicate with China on this matter in the future.

Ding Liren becomes China's first male world chess champion www.bbc.com

Ding Liren has become China's first men's world chess champion, after defeating Russia's Ian Nepomniachtchi.
Ding, 30, won a rapid-play tiebreaker after 14 first-stage games at the World Chess Championship in Kazakhstan.
He succeeds Norway's Magnus Carlsen, the five-time champion who said he was "not motivated" to defend his title.
Carlsen accused a US opponent of cheating last year in a row that rocked the chess world. He remains number one in the rankings.
Ding's victory makes him the 17th winner of the world chess tournament, while Nepomniachtchi, who had previously made a grand final, fell at the final hurdle for a second time.
Ding said he was "quite relieved" after his victory, according to comments shared by FIDE, the International Chess Federation.
"The moment Ian resigned the game was a very emotional moment. I couldn't control my feelings. I know myself, I will cry and burst into tears. It was a tough tournament for me."
His victory was celebrated by chess fans and patriots in China, which is a growing chess power.
"One Ding to rule em all," tweeted fellow grandmaster Anish Giri after Ding's victory.
China's General Administration of Sport, a government department, also posted a warm congratulatory message, praising Ding for "winning glory for the motherland and its people".
A native of Wenzhou, China's "chess city", Ding triumphed in dramatic circumstances in Astana, the Kazakh capital.
The opening 14 games were played over three weeks. Ding and Nepomniachtchi each won three, with eight draws.
For the tiebreaker, each player had only 25 minutes to make their moves, plus an additional 10 seconds for each move played. Ding clinched victory in winning the fourth quick-fire game.
The 2m euro (£1.8m; $2.2m) prize money will be split 55-45 between the two players.
Ding was able to compete against Nepomniachtchi due to Carlsen's abstention. Ding had finished second at the Candidates Tournament, which players must win to challenge the world champion.
In 2009, he became China's youngest chess champion at national level.
Within 12 years, he had become the highest-ranked Chinese player in the world rankings, reaching second place.
Ding was undefeated in classical chess for 100 games from August 2017 to November 2018. This was the longest unbeaten streak in top-level chess history until Carlsen surpassed it in 2019.
His triumph reflects China's growth in the global chess scene.
China has dominated women's chess tournaments since the 1990s, when Xie Jun became the first Chinese person to claim a world title in 1991 in the women's game.
No Chinese player had ever previously won the World Chess Championship, in which both men and women can compete.

China-Mongolia Ties: Mongolian Foreign Minister to visit China on May 1-2 www.news.cgtn.com

Mongolian Foreign Minister Battsetseg Batmunkh is visiting China on Monday following an invitation from Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang. This is her third visit to China since last year. One expert says the frequent high-level visits reflect the mutual trust between the two countries. Huang Yue has more.
The main goal of the Mongolian foreign minister's visit this time around is to make sure the outcomes agreed last November by Chinese President Xi Jinping and Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh are implemented.
That's according to one Chinese expert, who specializes in China-Mongolia ties.
At last year's meeting, the two heads of state oversaw the signing of 16 documents on bilateral cooperation, covering trade, investment and other key areas.
And there are now other important issues the two neighboring countries will discuss.
BAO SHENGLI Director, Mongolian Research Center, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences "China and Mongolia share 4,700 kilometers of border, so sometimes we face common challenges. For example, China has recently helped Mongolia put out the steppe fires at the two countries' borders. And China has promised to support Mongolia's campaign of planting one billion trees to mitigate desertification."
Bao says economic and trade cooperation is a central pillar of China-Mongolia relations.
BAO SHENGLI Director, Mongolian Research Center, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences "In 1994, the trade volume between China and Mongolia was 120 million US dollars. And in 2022, bilateral trade volume increased over 100 times, reaching 13 billion US dollars. China has been Mongolia's largest source of investment and a trading partner for nearly 20 years."
HUANG YUE Beijing "Some say Mongolia is threatened by its only two neighbors – China and Russia. But the expert argues China always wants to share development opportunities instead of pursuing a life-or-death struggle. And in the future, more cooperation outcomes can be expected as large scale projects are already under construction, including a pipeline transit, railways and ports. Huang Yue, CGTN, Beijing."

President of France to visit Mongolia at end of May www.akipress.com

President of France Emmanuel Macron will visit Mongolia at the end of May.
Mongolia and France may sign several agreements on cooperation and development during the French President's working visit to the country.
For example, Russia and France are world leaders in yellow powder or uranium enrichment technology, while countries such as China and Mongolia have large uranium reserves. The French company "Badrah Energy" is mining uranium in Dornogovi province.
However, according to the Mongolian media, Emmanuel Macron may make a proposal for cooperation in the uranium sector on a large scale, and offer to invest in the development of the nuclear energy.
Now Mongolia depends on Russia in terms of electricity. UN head António Guterres raised the issue of Mongolia's independence from Russia in energy field during his visit to the country last year. He stated that the UN would provide political support for the construction of the Egiin-Gol hydroelectric power station. After his visit, several prominent EU officials expressed their readiness to support and raise this issue when visiting Mongolia. Macron can also discuss the energy independence of Mongolia from Russia and investment in the construction of a nuclear power plant.
During the visits of Prime Minister Oyuun-Erdene to Germany and Korea and the visit of Polish President Andrzej Duda to Mongolia, it was shown that all countries are interested in mining rare earth elements in Mongolia. French President Macron may also make a request to buy rare earth elements from the country.
Mongolia has been cooperating with France in the field of emergency services and public transport in recent years. France supplied the Emergency Situations Agency with helicopters and trained pilots. The mayor's office is also cooperating with a French company in the development of public transport. It is expected that during Macron's visit, a number of cooperation agreements between Mongolia and France may be signed.

B.Javkhlan: The "Gerege" bond has been fully paid off www.montsame.mn

Minister of Finance B.Javkhlan announced today that the outstanding balance of the "Gerege" bond has been fully paid off, totaling USD 368 million.
Minister B.Javkhlan stated "- The total amount of this bond is USD 800 million. The Government of Mongolia has entered into multilateral loan agreements since 1990. Seven Government bonds have been issued so far. The first bond, called "Chinggis" was issued in 2012 to finance largest projects. Since then, one bond was issued in 2015 and two bonds in 2016, which were spent for offsetting the budget deficit. While, we have issued "Khuraldai", "Gerege", and "Nomad" bonds since 2017 for refinancing the previous bonds due to the repayment difficulties.
“The Government has received a total of USD 2.9 billion of debt from the six bond packages. These bond payments have been made through two methods. The Government has made a direct payment when the amount is affordable for the state budget, otherwise, we have refinanced, extending the repayment period and reducing the bond interest rate,” said Minister Javkhlan.

E.Tsendbaatar makes his Broadway boxing debut www.news.mn

Touted Mongolian knockout artist E.Tsendbaatar (5-0, 3 KOs), signed to DiBella Entertainment earlier this year, will make his Broadway Boxing debut.
E.Tsendbaatar grew up on the countryside steppes of the Mongolian grassland, living a nomadic lifestyle with his family, herding horses and livestock, which helped him to develop his lauded strength. His admiration for boxing began by watching Mike Tyson fights as a child and he had his first amateur bout at age 10.
As an amateur, E.Tsendbaatar was a two-time Olympian, competing in the 2016 Rio Games and 2020 Tokyo Games. Accumulating an impressive 147-41 record, E.Tsendbaatar won 11 Mongolian National titles, as well as gold medals at the AIBA Asian Championships twice, the 2018 Asian Games, and a bronze medal at the 2019 AIBA World Championships. He turned pro in September 2018 in China and made his US debut earlier this year in his first fight under the DiBella Entertainment banner.
On February 23, E.Tsendbaatar earned a thrilling third-round stoppage victory against Giovanni Gutierrez, at Sony Hall, in Times Square, New York City. He is now trained by Manny Robles out of Legends Boxing Academy in Los Angeles, CA.
He returns to Sony Hall tonight to take on fellow southpaw Edy Valencia Mercado (20-9-6, 7 KOs), of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico, in an eight-round bout. “E.Tsendbaatar is a beast. He’s a fearless fighter with real knockout power and swagger. He has the potential to become a world champion. Together with his managers, Max Alperovich and Bulgantamir Enkh-erdene, we will provide him with the right opportunities to get there,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. “I’m thrilled that his Broadway Boxing debut will be seen by a worldwide audience on DAZN.”
