Mongolia to host International mathematics competition 2026 www.news.mn

The International mathematics competition 2026 is a global contest that brings together students from many countries to solve challenging problems in algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics. It aims to develop logical thinking, creativity, and advanced problem-solving skills through both individual and team rounds.

The 2026 edition will be hosted by Mongolia, highlighting the country’s growing role in international mathematics education and giving local students a valuable opportunity to engage with the global academic community.

The IMC Olympiad will be held from July 22 to 27 at the campus of German-Mongolian Institute for Resources and Technology in Nalaikh District. Mongolia has participated in the competition regularly and successfully since 2010, and after winning the trophy at the 25th edition held in Vietnam, it earned the right to host the 2026 competition in its home country. At the closing and awards ceremony of the 25th International Mathematics Competition (VIMC 2025) held last year in Da Nang, the organizing committee officially handed over the IMC 2026 hosting flag to the Mongolian delegation.

In this Olympiad, each participating country is represented by a total of 16 students across different categories; however, due to the special circumstance of hosting the competition this year, Mongolia will be allowed to participate with 80 students.

Draft Revised Law on State Aviation Submitted www.montsame.mn

Member of Parliament and Minister of Defense Batlut Damba submitted the draft revised version of the Law on State Aviation to Chairman of the State Great Khural Byambatsogt Sandag on April 20.

The draft Law has been developed and submitted to Parliament in implementation of Provision 74 of the “Main Directions for Improving Mongolia’s Legislation until 2028,” which stipulates the drafting and submission of amendments to the Law on State Aviation.

The Law on State Aviation was first adopted in 2003 and has regulated relations related to state aircraft operations, as well as ensuring state aviation safety and security. In response to evolving requirements, the law has been amended six times.

In order to implement Government decisions, a Working Group tasked with drafting amendments to the Law on State Aviation was established under Order No. A/12 issued by the Minister of Defense in 2025. During the preliminary assessment and evaluation conducted in accordance with Article 25.1.2 of the Law on Legislation, it was determined that amendments would affect more than 50 percent of the law’s provisions. Therefore, the Working Group concluded that it would be appropriate to develop the draft in the form of a revised version rather than individual amendments.

While preparing the draft law, consideration was given to the growing scope of activities among organizations subject to the Law on State Aviation, particularly the increasing acquisition and operation of state aircraft in recent years. The draft aims to ensure unified policy and management for organizations operating state aircraft, legally define their functions, provide detailed regulation of relations governed by the State Aviation regulatory framework, and improve legal provisions concerning aircraft registration, issuance of airworthiness certificates, contractual employment of foreign nationals, as well as aviation safety, oversight, and regulation of flight operations.

The revised draft law introduces several principal changes, including:

Clearly defining the powers of the State Great Khural, the Government, the central state administrative body responsible for defense matters, the senior military command authority, and organizations operating state aircraft in directing and managing state aviation affairs;

Regulating relations related to unified policy and management as institutions such as the Armed Forces, the General Authority for Border Protection, and the National Emergency Management Agency have begun operating aircraft;

Updating legal regulations related to state aircraft registration, issuance of airworthiness certificates, and contractual engagement of foreign nationals;

Providing detailed regulation of relations governed by the State Aviation regulatory framework and improving legal provisions related to state aviation safety, as well as supervision and regulation of flight operations.

These additions distinguish the revised draft from the currently effective law.

According to the Press and Public Relations Department of the State Great Khural, adoption of the revised Law on State Aviation will not require additional state budget expenditures. The law is expected to clarify the duties, responsibilities, supervision, and regulatory framework applicable to citizens, business entities, and public institutions involved in state aviation activities, improve the legal environment for conducting flight operations, and contribute to the further development of related legal instruments necessary for implementation.

The launch event at Galleria Sky Ballroom in Ulaanbaatar attracted about 100 Mongolian dermatologists and plastic surgeons. The company said many attendees, including clinic directors and senior physicians, are expected to contribute to early adoption.

OAU (Ochiri Arvizikh Ur), L&C Bio’s official Mongolian distributor, organized the event and debuted Re2O and Re2O Fine. InMode, a global medical aesthetics device company, presented integrated treatments combining devices and biomaterials.

The company said the event demonstrated the effectiveness of offering a product portfolio rather than a single product.

Leading clinics in Zaisan -- known as Mongolia’s “medical street” -- have adopted Re2O, providing initial reference cases in the market. More chains, including Cinderella Clinic, have joined, supporting broader adoption through network expansion.

Key members of the Mongolian Society of Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine, a major academic society in the country, also attended the event.

During sessions, Oh Joon-suk, head of L&C Bio’s research center, explained the scientific advantages of Re2O and Re2O Fine, supported by mechanisms and academic data. Dr. Bastsetseg U and Dr. Bulgan Kh further presented clinical perspectives on the products’ efficacy and safety.

Launching both products together is intended to address a wider range of clinical needs and improve market responsiveness, the company said. After the event, L&C Bio reported increased inquiries regarding product adoption and partnerships.

L&C Bio aims to make Mongolia a Central Asian hub, with plans to expand into Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The company said it will focus on building clinical references, expanding networks, and supporting market entry in additional countries.

“The launch of Re2O and Re2O Fine has strengthened our product portfolio,” an L&C Bio official said. “We will drive growth in global medical aesthetics through our ECM-based materials and device-integrated strategies, including i-JECT and LuscinX.”

Lee Ju-hee, vice president and dermatologist at L&C Bio, said, “Since launching these products in November 2024, over 300,000 procedures have confirmed their safety and efficacy. We will uphold the highest standards in tissue safety management.”

President Khurelsukh Departs for State Visit to the Republic of Kazakhstan www.montsame.mn

 President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa has departed for a state visit to the Republic of Kazakhstan at the invitation of President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Kemeluly Tokayev, to take place from April 20–23, 2026.

The visit marks the 34th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and is the first visit at the level of the Head of State of Mongolia to Kazakhstan in 20 years. President Khurelsukh and President Tokayev will hold a tête-à-tête meeting and official talks and will brief representatives of the media.

The sides will review the achievements of more than three decades of bilateral relations, exchange views on expanding the “Strategic Partnership,” enriching cooperation with stronger economic content, and further deepening collaboration on international and regional platforms.

During the visit, the parties will sign intergovernmental and interagency documents on cooperation in trade and economy, banking, petroleum, energy, urban development, science, culture, youth, sports, tourism, media, and museums. A Kazakhstan–Mongolia Business Forum will also be held, while the honorary concert “Beautiful Mongolia” and a photo exhibition will be presented in Astana for the first time.

President Khurelsukh is also scheduled to participate in a Regional High-Level Meeting on Environmental Issues to be held in Astana during the visit.

President Tokayev paid a state visit to Mongolia in 2024 at the invitation of President Khurelsukh, which made an important contribution to deepening bilateral relations and cooperation across all sectors. During that visit, the two Heads of State jointly announced the elevation of traditional friendly relations to a “Strategic Partnership,” making Kazakhstan Mongolia’s first Strategic Partner in the Central Asian region.

Mongolia and the Republic of Kazakhstan established diplomatic relations on January 22, 1992. From the Mongolian side, President Bagabandi Natsag paid a state visit to Kazakhstan in 1998, followed by President Enkhbayar Nambar in 2007. From the Kazakh side, President Nursultan Nazarbayev visited Mongolia in 1993, 1999, and 2008, and President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev paid a state visit in 2024.

Russia to Supply Discounted Aviation Fuel www.montsame.mn

Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources Damdinnyam Gongor reached an agreement during his official visit to the Russian Federation to secure a regular supply of aviation fuel from the country under preferential terms.

This is expected to play an important role in stabilizing supply and mitigating rising oil and fuel prices linked to the situation in the Middle East.

Minister pinpoints land ownership issues www.ubpost.mn

Minister of Environment and Climate Change Ts.Sandag-Ochir met with representatives of citizens living in the Zaisan and Nukhtiin Am areas of the Bogd Khaan Mountain Nature Reserve to discuss long-standing issues related to land ownership rights.

During the meeting, the minister noted that although more than 680 residents who have lived in the area since 1954 were issued land ownership certificates between 2016 and 2022, the rights of an additional 125 citizens remain unresolved. He emphasized that this situation raises serious human rights concerns and requires urgent attention.

According to the ministry, many of these residents have lived in the area across three generations. However, due to unresolved land registration issues, they continue to face difficulties in accessing basic public services such as education and healthcare. The lack of official addresses, electricity connections, and civil registration has further deepened these challenges.

Minister Ts.Sandag-Ochir stressed that repeated submissions of relevant documentation without resolution represents a significant administrative gap. He stated, “There should be no laws and regulations that exceed human rights. By eliminating overlap and duplication in legislation, we can strengthen the environmental protection system.”

As the area is included in the 2026 land management planning framework, the minister assigned the head of the Bogd Khaan Mountain Nature Reserve Conservation Administration, E.Tsogbadral, and the Head of the Special Protected Areas Policy Department, Ts.Uranchimeg, a one-month mandate to conduct a detailed review and resolve the outstanding land ownership issues in accordance with the law.

The meeting was attended by more than 80 residents aged between 27 and 90, who raised pressing concerns and shared their long-standing challenges related to residency and access to public services.

Democratic Party begins work toward consecutive victories in 2027 and 2028 www.gogo.mn

Acting Secretary-General of the Democratic Party S.Bayartsogt briefed reporters on the party’s activities and also presented the party’s position on a bill submitted by prominent members to improve the use and efficiency of foreign loans.

S.Bayartsogt said he was appointed acting secretary-general of the Democratic Party and received his seal yesterday. “DP Chairman O.Tsogtgerel invited me to serve in this position. The Political Council supported the decision with 72% of the vote,” he said.

He added that the party chairman had told Political Council members it would be preferable to separate the positions of party chairman and parliamentary group chairman. S.Bayartsogt said the bill on recalling a member of parliament, submitted by the President, was also presented and discussed at the Political Council meeting.

“Our party has a lot of organizational, personnel, and financial work ahead if we are to ensure internal unity and win consecutive victories in 2027 and 2028. I am working as a team with Chairman O.Tsogtgerel to carry out this work and lead our party to victory,” he said.

S.Bayartsogt noted that three members of the Political Council reported on the president’s submitted bill, with one supporting it and one opposing it. An independent research organization also presented its findings.

He said Political Council members agreed that the draft law contains provisions that require further regulation. “For example, there is no mechanism to hold members accountable for corruption and abuse of official power. If we support it as it is, the balance of governance could be disrupted and difficulties may arise. Therefore, we agreed that it should not be supported in its current form. I hold the same position. After that, a working group with representatives from all parties should be established to examine the legal implications".
