Air corridor between India and Mongolia www.news.mn
An air corridor between India and Mongolia could start soon. A decision to explore the possibility of starting direct air services to Mongolia was taken during the recent visit to Ulaanbaatar by India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj. The Mongolia air corridor is part of the India’s Act East policy to reach out to close nations. “We agreed to remove institutional and logistical impediments to boost our trade, tourism, and people to people contacts. In this regard, we also agreed to explore the possibility of launching direct air connectivity between our two capitals,” Sushma Swaraj said during the joint media briefing with Foreign Minister of Mongolia D.Tsogtbaatar.
Mongolia considers India a “third neighbor” as well as a “spiritual neighbour” - the late venerable 19th Kushok Bakula Rinpoche (1917-2003), a Buddhist monk who is revered in Mongolia, served as an Indian emissary to the country.
