Ambassador of Mongolia to the United States, Batbayar Ulziidelger, presented copies of the patents of appointment to Enkhbileg Tserenbat as Honorary Consul of Mongolia in the State of Minnesota and to Raymond Richard Price as Honorary Consul of Mongolia in the State of Utah.

On this occasion, Ambassador Batbayar emphasized that the newly appointed Honorary Consuls should focus on expanding Mongolia–United States trade and economic cooperation, supporting collaboration in tourism and education, promoting Mongolia, and paying particular attention to protecting the rights and legitimate interests of Mongolian citizens residing in the State of Minnesota, according to the Embassy of Mongolia in the United States.

Honorary Consuls of Mongolia abroad are not career diplomatic officers. They are typically respected individuals permanently residing in the host country who hold strong reputations in business, social, and public spheres within their designated jurisdictions. Acting voluntarily without financial support from the Government of Mongolia, they contribute to strengthening friendly relations and cooperation between the two countries.

In addition to representing Mongolia in their respective regions, Honorary Consuls provide information and guidance to Mongolian citizens residing within their jurisdictions, facilitate communication with the Embassy when necessary, and offer assistance during emergencies. They also work to connect business communities of the two countries, support investment promotion, expand cooperation in trade, economy, and tourism, and organize cultural, educational, and sports activities.
