President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa was welcomed by local authorities and an honor guard from the Ulgii military garrison upon his arrival in Bayan-Ulgii aimag.

The President attended a ceremonial gathering dedicated to the Nauryz Festival, extending his greetings to the Kazakh community and wishing them health, happiness, and prosperity on the occasion of the spring celebration.

He briefed attendees on the implementation of his policies and initiatives, as well as on the progress of programs and draft legislation he has proposed, including the bill related to the recall of Members of Parliament, and the country’s current socio-economic situation. He highlighted the successful implementation of national movements and programs such as “Food Revolution,” “Billions of Trees,” “Healthy Mongolian,” “White Gold,” and the “Ilgeelt-2100” program. He expressed appreciation for the significant contributions made by the leadership of Bayan-Ulgii aimag, as well as the cooperation between public and private sectors, civil society organizations, and the dedicated efforts of citizens.

Governor Zangar Yo. noted that the people of Bayan-Ulgii had successfully overcome the winter and were welcoming the spring festival with optimism and confidence in further strengthening their achievements. Providing an overview of the President’s initiatives and ongoing development efforts in the aimag, he stated:

“As a result of the ‘Food Revolution’ movement, 83 enterprises have received loans totaling MNT 12 billion and are now engaged in intensified livestock farming, animal slaughtering, meat processing, and the production of dairy and flour-based products. Bayan-Ulgii aimag has previously met its own demand for potatoes and vegetables and even exported surplus to neighboring countries. Although there was a period when imported vegetables were consumed, agriculture has been revived through the ‘Food Revolution’ and the ‘Atar IV Campaign.’ By next autumn, the aimag aims to meet 70 percent of its potato demand and 25 percent of its vegetable demand domestically. Under the ‘President’s Scholar-2100’ scholarship program, more than 20 students from the aimag are studying in the Russian Federation, the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Türkiye, the United States of America, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Kazakhstan.”

Citizens expressed their support for the President’s policies, activities, and proposed programs and legislation, including the draft law on recalling Members of Parliament, which has drawn significant public attention. They also raised concerns over increasing air pollution in Ulgii city and emphasized the need for concrete measures, such as engaging senior citizens in the care and maintenance of planted trees and expanding the use of renewable energy at the household level.

In 2025, Bayan-Ulgii aimag commissioned a wastewater treatment plant, reinforced concrete bridges, roads, power supply facilities in Altai Tavan Bogd National Park and in Bulgan, Altantsogts, and Bugat soums, a 100-bed general hospital in the aimag center, a 150-bed hospital in Ulaankhus soum, a 120-bed hospital in Ulgii soum, new 50-bed kindergartens in Nogoonnuur and Bulgan soums, and paved roads in Deluun and Bugat soums. This year, construction is set to begin on a tourism and sports complex, housing for civil servants, and 100-bed kindergarten buildings in Ulgii, Altantsogts, and Altai soums.

The President expressed his gratitude to the hardworking people of Bayan-Ulgii aimag, who have consistently made valuable contributions to both regional and national development and have actively participated in the successful implementation of the national movements he has initiated. He wished success to local authorities and citizens, urging them to consolidate their achievements, uphold unity, support what is right, and continue striving for the development of Mongolia.
