2025 Mongolia Investment Climate Statement Released www.mn.usembassy.gov

Ulaanbaatar, September 26, 2025 – Today, the U.S. Department of State released the 2025 Mongolia Investment Climate Statement. The 2025 Statement presents a balanced assessment of the potentials and challenges that U.S. investors may face as they explore the Mongolia business environment.
The 2025 Mongolia Investment Climate Statement is also a resource for Mongolian government partners as they work to create fair business environments for both U.S. investors and Mongolian domestic investors.
As stated in the 2025 Mongolia Statement, “Mongolia’s frontier market and natural resources offer potentially lucrative opportunities for investors, but caution is warranted due to the country’s vulnerability to external economic and financial shocks, ineffective dispute resolution, and lack of input from stakeholders during rulemaking, and increased risk of expropriation.”
The United States recognizes and commends Mongolia for publicly acknowledging the importance of a predictable and transparent statutory and regulatory framework for the private sector. The United States encourages Mongolia to implement laws and regulations that would deliver on these public commitments to create a nurturing environment for the private sector, which is the beating heart of a vibrant, diversified economy.
During a meeting with the American Chamber of Commerce in Mongolia, U.S. Ambassador to Mongolia Richard L. Buangan emphasized “Mongolia’s economic growth needs to be private sector led. To achieve that growth, there needs to be a legal, regulatory and investment framework which attracts serious, responsible domestic and foreign private sector investment.”

Mongolian President likely to visit India next month www.wionews.com

Mongolian president Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh is likely to visit India next month as part of the ongoing engagement between the 2 countries. Mongolia, landlocked between Russia and China, sees India as its 3rd and spiritual neighbour with deep linkages through Buddhism. The 4 Ds—Dharma, Democracy, Development Partnership & Digital Development Cooperation—have become pillars of the India-Mongolia relationship.
The visit comes as India and Mongolia mark 70 years of the establishment of diplomatic ties. India was one of the first countries outside the communist bloc to recognise Mongolia. India also played an important role in the entry of Mongolia into the United Nations. The 70th anniversary celebrations involve a number of initiatives and programmes.
The last Mongolian president to visit India was Khaltmaagiin Battulga in July 2019, but visits from Mongolia have continued, the last being earlier this year by top officials of the foreign and defence ministry. PM Modi had visited the country in 2025, a visit seen as a watershed in the ties between the 2 countries. Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had visited the country in 2022, seen as key to firming up defence ties. During the visit, the Indian Defence Minister announced the gifting of 2 ALS Indian-made ambulances and 200 special winter clothing items, which were delivered by the Indian Defence Ministry in July 2023 to the Mongolian Armed Forces.
India is supporting the building up of Mongolia's first oil refinery in Dornogovi with a $1.7 billion soft loan, technical expertise, and construction by Indian firms. The project, set for 2026 completion, strengthens energy security and bilateral strategic ties. As part of the security cooperation, both sides hold the annual bilateral exercise "Nomadic Elephant," and India participated in the multinational "Khaan Quest" peacekeeping drill. India also provides developmental aid, including soft loans, IT collaboration, and capacity building.
Buddhist linkages remain one of the most important pillars of ties between the 2 sides. In 2022, India sent sacred Kapilvastu relics of Lord Buddha to Mongolia for an 11-day exposition at Gandan Monastery. Venerable Kushok Bakula Rinpoche served as India's ambassador to Mongolia.

EBRD forecasts Mongolia's economy to grow by 5.8 pct in 2025 www.xinhuanet.com

Mongolia's economic activity remained robust in the first half of 2025, despite weaker mining-sector activity and a deteriorating macroeconomic environment, local media reported on Sunday, citing the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
In its Outlook for Central Asian economies in 2025 and 2026, the EBRD forecasts growth of 5.8 percent for Mongolia's economy in 2025 and 5.5 percent in 2026, the Eagle News TV channel reported.
Mongolia's real gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 5.6 percent in the first half of 2025, driven primarily by a strong rebound in the agriculture sector and continued expansion of the services sector, according to the EBRD.
Currently, Mongolia's economy depends heavily on the mining sector and on the export of mineral resources. Mining commodities, such as copper, iron ore and unprocessed or semi-processed gold, constituted 93 percent of Mongolia's total exports during the first eight months of 2025.

The Economist Spotlights Mongolia’s World Horse Day Initiative www.montsame.mn

The Economist magazine highlighted the remarks made by the President of Mongolia during the General Debate of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA)  in its weekly review, in connection with Mongolia’s initiative to establish World Horse Day and to promote equine heritage and culture.
At Mongolia’s initiative, beginning in 2025, July 11 has been designated and observed annually as World Horse Day.
In his address to the General Debate of the 80th Session of the UNGA on September 23, 2025, President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa spoke about the inseparable bond between the Mongolian people and their horses, and the crucial role horses have played throughout human history.
President Khurelsukh emphasized, “From the moment of birth, Mongolians grow up on horseback, and together with our trusted steeds, we have earned global renown and helped inscribe a remarkable chapter in the history of humankind. For this reason, the Mongolian people have placed the horse at the heart of our State Emblem, woven our State Flag from the mane and tail of our swiftest steeds, and created the haunting melodies of the morin khuur to stir the hearts of the world. We are a nation blessed with this unique heritage.
Throughout history, horses have made immense contributions to human livelihood, culture, civilization, and progress. To safeguard this heritage, to raise awareness of its significance, and to promote its continued appreciation worldwide, Mongolia initiated a resolution to designate July 11 of each year as World Horse Day. This resolution was adopted at the plenary meeting of the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly on June 3, 2024.”
Expressing gratitude on behalf of the horse-loving Mongolian people, President Khurelsukh stated from the UN rostrum that Mongolia deeply appreciates the support of all UN Member States for this resolution, which aligns World Horse Day with the date of Mongolia’s National Naadam Festival, inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
In connection with this initiative, The Economist, a globally respected publication, noted in its weekly review, “Amid all the high-minded speechifying at the UN assembly, Mongolia’s president used part of his address to praise the historical contribution of the world’s 60m horses. Khurelsukh Ukhnaa lauded our trusty steeds for being “integral to human livelihoods, culture and civilisations”, as he promoted his initiative for a UN World Horse Day. There are more horses than people in Mongolia, which is renowned for its equine culture.”
According to the National Statistics Office of Mongolia, as of 2024, the country’s human population stood at 3.5 million, while its horse population reached 4.6 million, confirming The Economist’s observation that “horses outnumber people in Mongolia.”
The draft resolution proclaiming World Horse Day was introduced by Mongolia and adopted at the plenary meeting of the 79th Session of the UNGA on June 3, 2024, with 56 co-sponsoring Member States, including: the Republic of Austria, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Republic of Korea, the People’s Republic of China, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Lesotho, the Kingdom of Morocco, the Russian Federation, the Portuguese Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Kingdom of Thailand, the Republic of Türkiye, Japan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Republic of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, the Republic of Uzbekistan, and the Republic of Tajikistan.

Foreign visitors to Mongolia reach 678,850 in first 9 months www.xinhuanet.com

Mongolia recorded a total of 678,850 inbound tourist visits by foreign passport holders in the first nine months of 2025, according to official data released by the Mongolian Tourism Organization on Saturday.

According to the Ministry of Culture, Sport, Tourism and Youth, the Mongolian government has decided to continue the "Years to Visit Mongolia" tourism program until 2028 to promote the development of four-season tourism in the country.

New Air Services Agreement Paves Way for Direct Flights Between Mongolia and Australia www.montsame.mn

At the Cabinet Session on September 24, 2025, the Government of Mongolia approved the draft Air Services Agreement between the Government of Mongolia and the Government of Australia and authorized the signing of the agreement.
Last October, representatives of the civil aviation authorities of Mongolia and Australia held bilateral talks, during which they initialed the draft agreement and signed a memorandum of understanding. The establishment of this agreement will provide the legal framework necessary to launch direct flights between the two countries. This is expected to enable domestic airlines to open new routes, expand their market reach, and connect to international transport and logistics networks, thereby extending Mongolia’s aviation network.
The agreement is also expected to bring significant benefits for Mongolian citizens currently studying, working, or residing in Australia, as well as for business travelers and tourists through reducing travel costs. More broadly, the deal is seen as an important step in enhancing bilateral relations, trade, investment, economic cooperation, and people-to-people exchanges between Mongolia and Australia.
Mongolia and Australia established diplomatic relations in 1972 and have since expanded their cooperation in politics, education, mining, trade, economics, culture, and civil aviation.

CIDCA and UNDP Partner to Bring Solar Energy to Ulaanbaatar’s Ger Districts www.undp.org

The China International Development Cooperation Agency (CIDCA), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the Chingeltei District of Ulaanbaatar launched the “Upgrading Ger Districts in Ulaanbaatar Through Solar Photovoltaic System Implementation” project to tackle air pollution and accelerate Mongolia’s just energy transition.
Air pollution remains one of Mongolia’s most pressing challenges. In Ulaanbaatar, coal burning in ger districts contributes to nearly 60% of PM2.5 emissions. Consequently, indoor and outdoor pollution combined causes over 7,100 premature deaths annually and economic losses amounting to 10% of the nation’s GDP. By replacing coal-based heating with solar-powered systems equipped with heat storage technology and smart meters, the project aims to improve public health, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and serve as a model for clean energy expansion across the country.
Funded by the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund of China International Development Cooperation Agency (CIDCA), the project will support 450 households in Chingeltei District over the next two years. It builds on UNDP’s successful 2023–2024 pilot and represents a shift from one-time grants toward a sustainable, market-based approach for renewable energy deployment.
Among the key outputs are the installation of mini photovoltaic (PV) grids with battery storage and smart meters, household-level solar heating systems, and real-time monitoring for carbon credit verification. The project will also deliver community training programmes and awareness campaigns on renewable energy benefits. Public engagement will also focus on gender-responsive capacity-building and women’s leadership in renewable energy, with an aim that the transition to renewable energy creates opportunities for all and leaves no one behind.
Mr. Amartuvshin Amgalanbayar, Deputy Governor of the Capital City in charge of the Social Sector, Green Development, and Air and Environmental Pollution Affairs, stated "Renewable energy offers one of the most practical and effective solutions for tackling the severe air pollution challenges in Ulaanbaatar’s ger districts. I am confident that this project will help us bring cleaner air, healthier living conditions, and a more sustainable future for our people."
Mr. Manduul Nyamandeleg, Governor of Chingeltei District, emphasized the urgency of the transition and stated, “Our residents deserve clean air and affordable energy, and this initiative provides a practical, long-term solution to improve health, reduce costs, and support clean energy transition. With its success, we hope to see this model scaled up to benefit many more households in our district."
H.E. Shen Minjuan, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People' s Republic of China to Mongolia, stated, that "The Government and people of China are pleased to support Mongolia in bringing clean, affordable energy to its citizens through CIDCA. This project reflects China’s commitment to green development and building a community with a shared future for humanity."
UNDP Resident Representative Ms. Matilda Dimovska highlighted the initiative’s role in driving systemic change and stated, "A just energy transition requires cooperation at all levels. With innovation, investment, and commitment, Mongolia has the potential to move away from coal dependency while ensuring that no one is left behind. We are thankful to CIDCA’s leadership and support in making it a reality.”
