Mongolian President Khaltmaa Battulga has asked North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to visit Mongolia.
North Korea's state-run media reported on Sunday that Battulga made the request in a telegram to Kim. Battulga congratulated Kim on their 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations.
The media quoted Battulga as writing that the previous leaders of the 2 countries built a solid foundation for their diplomatic ties.
The media says he also writes that he believes their relations will further develop in line with their common interests and the peace and stability of the region.
The media says referring to a visit to Mongolia by the late former North Korean leader Kim Il Sung, Battulga expressed his hope to receive the current North leader on this occasion.
Arrangements are being made for Kim Jong Un to hold a second round of bilateral summit talks with US President Donald Trump. Kim may also make his first visit to Russia later this year.
