The issue of recalling and appointing ambassadors was discussed during today's session of the State Great Khural.
The majority of the State Great Khural members supported to appoint Seseriin Zoljargal as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Mongolia to the Republic of Cuba, Banzraganchiin Bayarsaikhan as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Japan, Batnyamiin Enkhbat as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Korea, and Erdenetsogtiin Sarantogos as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Canada.
Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Mongolia to Canada, Japan, and Cuba Ya. Ariunbold, D. Batjargal, and Sh. Battsetseg respectively will be recalled as their terms of appointment have essentially expired.
Additionally, it was decided to recall Otgonii Dambinyam, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Mongolia to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. In accordance with Parliament Resolution No. 43 of 2013, Mongolia resolved to restore the embassy's operation in Kabul, the capital of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, but the embassy has yet to open. Despite this, Otgonii Dambiinyam was appointed as the Ambassador to Afghanistan with residence in Iran in 2014, and the legal issue of his withdrawal has not been resolved to date.
During the session of the State Great Khural, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, B. Battsetseg stated, "These officials have a track record of serving in the government, diplomatic service, and private sector for many years. They possess high professional skills, management experience, and foreign language proficiency, and have met the legal requirements for the appointment. A contract has been signed for their appointment since last year, and a report on its implementation will be submitted to the Parliament after half a year and a full year. We are primarily assigning them tasks related to the economy, tourism, and public affairs."
