"We have just noted during negotiations with Mr. President [Ukhnaagiin Khurelsuh] that Mongolia turned out to be a very loyal, reliable ally of the Soviet Union and Russia during the fight against German fascism during the Great Patriotic War," Putin said.
The two countries have maintained very close, friendly relations for decades, the Russian leader noted. These relations are developing, and trade between the countries is growing. In addition, Moscow and Ulaanbaatar cooperate through parliaments. The first meeting of the interparliamentary commission was held in 2023.
The Russian President stressed that Moscow attaches great importance to these contacts, and added that direct interaction between the parliaments helps to create a regulatory framework for interaction.
Putin thanked Amarbayasgalan for the warm welcome.
Putin arrived on an official visit to Mongolia on September 2. A guard of honor was put up at the airport in his honor. The visit is dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the joint victory of the Soviet and Mongolian armed forces over the Japanese militarists on the Khalkhin Gol River.
Negotiations with Khurelsukh took place on September 3 in a narrow and wide format. Putin invited his Mongolian counterpart to come to Moscow in May next year to celebrate the 80th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War. In addition, the Russian president invited Khurelsukh to come to Kazan for the BRICS summit. The President of Mongolia accepted the offer.
On September 3, the Russian leader also met with the Prime Minister of Mongolia Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene.
