Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, the President of Mongolia, is paying a state visit to the Republic of Tajikistan on July 23-26 at the invitation of President Emomali Rahmon.
Upon arrival at Dushanbe International Airport, President U.Khurelsukh was welcomed by First Deputy Prime Minister Kholikzoda Khokim and D.Bayarkhuu, Mongolia’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Tajikistan. 
The visit is expected to provide significant momentum for expanding and strengthening Mongolia’s friendly relations with Central Asian countries, particularly Tajikistan, by deepening economic cooperation and enhancing people-to-people ties.
During the visit, Presidents U.Khurelsukh and Rahmon will hold one-on-one meetings and official talks, after which they will issue a Joint Statement of Mongolia and the Republic of Tajikistan on the Development of Friendly Relations and Multilateral Cooperation.
Several bilateral cooperation agreements are also expected to be signed to promote relations in various sectors.
In addition, President U.Khurelsukh will meet with the Chairman of the Majlisi Namoyandagon, the lower house of Tajikistan’s Parliament, to discuss inter-parliamentary cooperation.
A Mongolia-Tajikistan business forum and cultural performances will also be held as part of the state visit under the auspices of the two heads of state.
Mongolia and Tajikistan established diplomatic relations in 1992, and this marks the first state visit by a Mongolian President.
Upon his arrival in Dushanbe, President U.Khurelsukh laid a wreath at the monument to Ismoil Somoni, a national symbol of Tajik history and culture.
Ismoil Somoni, the first emir of the Samanid dynasty, is revered for his pivotal role in shaping Tajik statehood. A 13-meter-tall statue stands in his honor, accompanied by a museum that includes a replica of the Samanid Mausoleum from the 9th–10th centuries in Bukhara.
Flanked by bronze lions symbolizing stability, peace, and national unity, the monument serves as a ceremonial site where visiting heads of state and dignitaries traditionally pay their respects.
