New Delhi : PM Narendra Modi held bilateral talks with Mongolian President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, underlining the significance of the partnership in amplifying the voice of the Global South and supporting in international forums a free, open, inclusive and rules-based Indo-Pacific.
The two countries signed 10 MoUs in areas like geology and mineral resources, culture, humanitarian aid and quick impact projects.
Calling India a strong and reliable partner in Mongolia’s development, Modi backed stronger defence and security cooperation with the mineral-rich country and announced the appointment of a defence attaché at the Indian embassy in Ulaanbaatar.
“Our defence and security cooperation is also steadily strengthening. We have launched several new initiatives, from training programmes to the appointment of a defence attaché at the Embassy,” said Modi, adding India will launch a new capacity-building programme for Mongolia’s border security forces. Ties with Mongolia are based on trust and friendship, he stressed.
The PM also announced that India will give free e-visas to Mongolian citizens, saying even though the two countries don’t share a border, India has always considered Mongolia a close neighbour.
A joint statement was also adopted on strengthening the strategic partnership and charting a shared vision for future engagement, including resilient supply chains and critical minerals. Mongolia reiterated its support for India’s permanent membership of the UN Security Council and also for India's candidature as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for 2028-29.
Talking about the age-old bond of Buddhism between the two countries, Modi said the holy relics of two great disciples of Lord Buddha — Sariputra and Maudgalyayana — will be sent from India to Mongolia next year.
“We will also send a Sanskrit teacher to Gandan Monastery to support in-depth study of Buddhist texts and continue the ancient tradition of knowledge. We have decided to soon launch a project to digitise one million ancient manuscripts,” said Modi, adding the Nalanda University has played a vital role in Buddhism in Mongolia.
