India’s important role in the development of democracy and many institutions in Mongolia www.india.postsen.com

India’s Buddhism and its philosophy have an indelible contribution to the establishment of a democratic Mongolia. Ambassador of Mongolia to India Dambajavin Gambold was the chief guest of concluding session of the fifth edition of the three-day Bodh Gaya Dialogue on Sunday. Expressing his gratitude towards India, he said that the contribution of India’s Ambassador to Mongolia and renowned Buddhist scholar of Ladakh Kushok Lama in this mission is commendable. On the occasion of Buddha Purnima last year, the Minister of Government of India, Kiren Rijiju thanked for attending the celebrations in Mongolia.
He also recalled Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifting him a statue of Lord Buddha and his two disciples Sariputra and Moggalan during his visit to Mongolia in 2015. India’s contribution to the development of democracy, rule of law and various institutions in Mongolia is invaluable. Without the vision of India, we were unable to challenge the hegemony of the Mongols. He said that Mongolia will always be in the role of a partner with the Indira Gandhi International Center for the Arts and the Government of India at all levels to propagate the principles of Buddhism.
Presiding over the closing session of the dialogue, Prof. DC Choubey, in-charge of the Greater India Project of Indira Gandhi International Center for the Arts, said that the Central Government through the Ministry of Culture is committed to beautify the heritage of Bodh Gaya from the perspective of local stakeholders. He said that soon the Bodhgaya chapter of the Kala Kendra would take shape here with the help of the active Deshkal Society, for which the Center’s President Ram Bahadur Rai and Secretary Sachchidanand Joshi have given their consent.
In another important session, there was a discussion on Buddha and his teachings, which was presided over by Vinodanand Jha, former Director of Education, Government of Bihar. He said that Lord Buddha was the greatest teacher and emphasized on active participation of students in education. Buddhist associations are living examples of this. In the session, Dr. Ravikant, Dean of South Bihar Central University, also threw light on various dimensions of learning outcome and talked about adopting the importance of the subject of localism. DIET Nalanda Lecturer Nirmala, Dr. Rahul Kumar, academic representatives were present in the session.

Mongolia Embraces Impact Investing for Inclusive Growth www.mongoliaweekly.com

Mongolia is embracing impact investing as a means of promoting inclusive growth and financial inclusion. Impact investing, a rapidly growing industry that generates positive social and environmental impact alongside financial returns, is an approach that aligns investment strategies with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Impact investing has the potential to raise trillions to address the world’s most pressing development needs, from preventing and mitigating climate change to delivering the health and education services needed for lasting prosperity.
According to the latest report by The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), the worldwide impact investing market size is $1.2 trillion.
The challenges and risks of impact investing include difficulties in measuring and reporting impact, balancing financial and social returns, finding suitable deals and exits, and managing integrity and authenticity.
These challenges can be addressed by developing clear strategies, standards, frameworks, and tools for impact investing, as well as by fostering collaboration and learning among different stakeholders in the impact ecosystem.
Ashid Asset Management, founded by activist economist Ayushsuren Batpurev, is seeking to promote an impact investing culture in Mongolia. With commercial banks accounting for 90% of the country's financial system assets, access to finance remains limited, hindering sustainable economic growth and exacerbating inequality.
Compared to advanced economies, the level of financial literacy and education among the general public is relatively insufficient.
The percentage of people actively participating in the stock market is notably low, while a greater number of individuals are susceptible to fraudulent "get-rich-quick" schemes as was evidenced by recent scandals around cryptocurrency and tokens. Furthermore, the professional investment management system is still in its nascent stages of development.
Ashid has organized public lectures, seminars, and training to raise awareness and interest in impact investing, and its Mutual Fund has attracted over 1,000 subscribers, notably from rural areas and young investors.
To further improve public access to finance, Ashid plans to establish an Angel Investment Fund for small and medium-sized enterprises, and a Private Pension Fund to address the inadequacies of the current state retirement insurance system. The company aims to attract investors from both domestic and international markets, as well as institutional and private sectors.
By advocating for an inclusive, impact investment culture, Ashid Asset Management is contributing to Mongolia's progress towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and fostering ESG-driven private investment growth.
Suren Badral is an expert consultant in the areas of foreign investment and international trade. He has previously held high-level official positions, including Ambassador-at-Large at Mongolia's Foreign Ministry and Chairman of the Committee on Trade-related Investment Measures at the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Mongolia Rounds off IIHF Divisional Championship with Silver Trophy www.montsame.mn

The IIHF World Championship Division IV was solemnly organized in Steppe Arena of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia on March 23-26, 2023. Mongolia hosted IIHF Championships for the first time in its history. This Tournament was held under the auspice of President of Mongolia Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh. The IIHF and Mongolia warmly welcomed the players, officials, fans, and everyone who attended the Championships.
Championship Results
The Philippines is Winner
The Philippine team became the winner in the Tournament by winning three matches. All other teams in the division resulted in at least one loss. They scored a total of 35 goals in three competitions and allowed only six with a goal difference of +29.
Mongolia ranked second place with eight points, while Kuwait took third place in the Tournament with three points.
President of Mongolia Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh
Dear athletes and coaches, who are visiting our country to compete with your courage and energy!
Dear guests, fans, and spectators!
Today, a grand event is taking place that will be written in Mongolia’s sports history. Mongolians have been excitedly watching the World Hockey Championship on television for many years - admiring the skills and performances of world-famous athletes Wayne Gretzky, Vladislav Tretiak, Mario Lemieux, and Vyacheslav Fetisov. And I have fond memories of playing hockey on an open field with my friends. I am very happy that we are hosting the World Championship Division IV tournament in our country at Mongolia’s first Olympic standard venue, Steppe Arena.
Mongolia has many young people interested in hockey, who I believe will bring our country to the world stage in winter sports.
On behalf of the Mongolian government and people, I would like to thank the International Ice Hockey Federation and the Mongolian Ice Hockey Federation for their cooperation.
Mongolia has been actively supporting all kinds of sports events, competitions, and festivals in expanding and developing friendly relations with many countries. One of the clearest manifestations is this competition, which is being opened under the auspices of the President of Mongolia. Inter-ethnic friendships and mutual understanding are created and maintained through sports. It is the wish of all of us to be free of war and hardship, visit each other and develop together.
Mongolians are people who strive forward to overcome new challenges and test our strengths. When we aspire for a common goal, we unite our voices and cheer “uukhai.”
I would like to announce the opening of the World Championship Division IV tournament. Good luck to you all. Uukhai, Uukhai, Uukhai.
A. Mergen, Vice President of the Mongolian Ice Hockey Federation, and Head Coach of Mongolia Men's National Ice Hockey Team
It has been almost 60 years since Mongolians started training in Ice hockey. Mongolia is hosting IIHF World Championships for the first time. Today, Mongolia Men's National Ice Hockey Team captured its first win against Kuwait with a stunning score of 8-0. I would like to thank all the Mongolians and the hockey enthusiasts who cheered on team Mongolia. I am very happy now. Our strongest rival was the Philippines since the team includes five American players and two professional players from Switzerland. As of previous games, our team frequently matched the Philippines. We beat team Philippine twice and became the champion.
Ice hockey in Mongolia has been developing for 60 years. Successfully organizing the world championships in Mongolia is our accountability, and it is an opportunity to show the world that Mongolia can host the world's high-level ice hockey championships. Moreover, it was a splendid moment that the IIHF valued the abilities and skills of Mongolian players and the activities of the Mongolian Ice Hockey Federation.
Anders Larsson, Council Member of IIHF
It feels very good to be here in Mongolia. Seeing the Steppe Arena is fantastic. My first impression of getting to know the people working for the development of Mongolian ice hockey and the fans and supporters of the team Mongolia here is spectacular. Every tournament is special in its own way. But this one is really special. For the first time in its history, Mongolia is hosting IIHF Men’s World Championship division IV. As for IIHF, it is a valuable opportunity to promote ice hockey through the IIHF World Championships.
On the first day, the Steppe Arena, with a seating capacity of 2600 to 3600, had a full audience. An hour before the start of the Game, many Mongolian hockey enthusiasts gathered at once in the Steppe Arena to cheer on team Mongolia. Specifically, fans from rural areas of Mongolia as well as the junior ice hockey team from Darkhan city, Mongolia, observed the Championships. Also, hockey enthusiasts from the Philippines, Canada, Indonesia, Kuwait, and the United States, living in Mongolia, visited the Steppe Arena.
Hockey Fans
-The speed, the striking, and the pass, just everything of the Mongolian team is good.
-Today is a very remarkable moment in Mongolian Ice Hockey history. I would like to thank everyone who constructed this Ice Arena, and the organizers of this Tournament. This is my second time observing the world ice hockey championships in the world high-class arena. One of them was the 2023 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Asia and Oceania Championship. The atmosphere in Steppe Arena right now is beyond my expectation.
B. Dorjpalam, The First State Honored Coach of Mongolian Ice Hockey
The IIHF World Championship Division IV is considered a very high-level championship. We are hosting this Tournament for the first time. The organization of this event by the Mongolian Ice Hockey Federation and the training of Mongolia national men’s ice hockey team are fantastic.
More than 120 people, including players, coaches, and officials from Kuwait, Indonesia, and the Philippines came to Mongolia for the IIHF World Championship Division IV. After successful runs and fierce battles, the Philippines lifted the Grand Trophy of Division IV.

8-year-old Mongolian child will be the third religious leader of Tibet: Dalai Lama completed the rituals in Himachal, said- meeting the child in Mongolia is auspicious www.newscubic.co.in

The 87-year-old Tibetan religious leader Dalai Lama has given a big blow to China. He has made an 8-year-old Mongolian child born in America the third highest religious leader of Tibetan Buddhism. He is one of the twins. The Dalai Lama called this child the reincarnation of the 10th Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche.
The ceremony of meeting the new religious leader took place on March 8 in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, but its information has now come to the fore. It was attended by 600 Mongolians at the ceremony. The Dalai Lama said – Our ancestors had deep relations with the Krishnacharya dynasty of Chakrasamvar. One of these also established a monastery in Mongolia. In such a situation, it is very auspicious to meet the third religious leader in Mongolia.
Celebration in Mongolia on the news of the child
According to Mongolian media, the new Tibetan cleric is one of the twins of a maths professor from Mongolia. The names of these children are Agudai and Achiltai. And the child’s grandmother has been a Member of Parliament in Mongolia. People started celebrating in Mongolia as soon as the news of the child being a religious leader came out. There was great enthusiasm among the Buddhists during the ceremony. On the other hand, according to some media reports, there were reports earlier also of a Mongolian child being a religious leader, but the Dalai Lama has now confirmed it.
China had said – we will choose a Buddhist leader
This step of the Dalai Lama is considered politically important. China wants to appoint its people in the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, so that there is no possibility of any rebellion in Tibet. China has also announced that the country will recognize only those Buddhist leaders whom the Chinese government will choose. Even before this, in 1995, when the Dalai Lama chose the second highest religious leader, the Panchen Lama, he was jailed by the Chinese authorities. After this, China appointed a religious leader of its own choosing to the post. Now after getting the third Tibetan religious leader, there is concern among Buddhists about his safety.
Dalai Lama came to Himachal from China in 1959
The Dalai Lama is the religious leader of Tibet. He was born in 1935. He was said to be the reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama when he was 2 years old. After this he was recognized as the 14th Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama fled from Tibet in 1959 after China occupied it. Since then he has been living in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. The Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. However, China calls them separatists who are a threat to Tibet.

SUMO/ Mongolian Kiribayama clinches his 1st career title www.asahi.com

New sekiwake Kiribayama clinched his first career title March 26 by defeating Komusubi Daieisho twice on the last day of the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament.
Kiribayama, who is from Mongolia, entered the 15th and final day of the meet at Edion Arena Osaka with one win behind front runner Daieisho.
Kiribayama adopted a thrust down to force a playoff by sending Daieisho out of the ring.
The two wrestlers each had 12 wins and three losses after the bout.
The playoff was held a few minutes later. Kiribayama won again with thrust down after a close fight that required a ringside consultation.
Kiribayama, who was born to a family of nomads in Dornod Province in eastern Mongolia, was a judo enthusiast before coming to Japan for a trial, where he caught the attention of stable master Michinoku.
Kiribayama made his professional debut at the 2015 Summer Grand Sumo Tournament when he was 19 years old.
He was promoted to the top division in the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament in 2020.
Kiribayama is renowned for not giving up in a fight, as well as his technique of grabbing the front of his opponent’s mawashi belt.
Kiribayama will aim to be promoted to ozeki rank at the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament in May.
One criterion for the promotion is taking 33 wins while holding one of the three ranks below Yokozuna within the three latest tournaments.
Kiribayama clinched 23 wins in the last two tournaments, including 11 wins in the previous New Year tourney as Komusubi.
The tournament was the fourth held without solo Yokozuna Terunofuji, who withdrew before Day 1.
Solo Ozeki Takakeisho also pulled out midway through the tourney.
This was the first tournament in more than 90 years to be held without a yokozuna and an ozeki, sumo’s two highest ranks.
Kiribayama is the ninth Mongolian-born champion, following Asashoryu with 25 titles, Hakuho with 45, Harumafuji with nine, Kyokutenho with one, Kakuryu with six, Terunofuji with seven, Tamawashi with two and Ichinojo with one.

China demanding to approve Mongolia’s top religious figure? www.tibetanreview.net

The Dalai Lama’s recognition of the reincarnation of Mongolia’s top religious figure, the tenth Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoché, is reportedly being complicated by China’s nudge that its approval be sought for his enthronement, according to several international media reports in recent days.
A Mongolian boy with US dual-nationality has been revealed as the incarnation of the third most important spiritual leader in Tibetan Buddhism and was pictured for the first time alongside the Dalai Lama, reported the dailymail.co.uk Mar 23. While it is not clear on what basis the report calls him “the third most important spiritual leader in Tibetan Buddhism”, inasmuch as there is no hierarchical structure in Tibetan Buddhism, it is a fact that Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa is the top religious figure of Mongolia.
The report noted that rumours about the boy’s identity had swirled around the spiritual community for years, but that his existence has only now been confirmed with his public appearance in India, where the Dalai Lama lives in exile.
Present at the ceremony in Dharamsala on Mar 8 were also 600 Mongolians who came to celebrate their new spiritual leader, the report said.
The report speculated that the unveiling could spark fury in China, which had previously said it will only recognise Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leaders their special government-approved appointees had chosen. But this could be a misreading of the Chinese government’s intention as Mongolia is not under Chinese rule, as is the case with occupied Tibet.
Still, referring to a report by The Times, the report said that in Mongolia, the news about the Dalai Lama and his ceremony with the young boy, resulted in intense excitement among Buddhists in the country as well as “contempt among secular nationalists and alarm among those who feat that it will provoke the rage of the country’s neighbour, China”.
Despite the 9th Jetsun Dhampa’s wish for only the Dalai Lama to recognize his successor, China is seemingly nudging Mongolia to seek its approval before acknowledging a new leader. This if true would be an outrageous interference in the religious affairs of Mongolia. However, this tactic is part of China’s broader strategy to control Buddhism beyond its borders, with Mongolia being a crucial piece of the puzzle, said thediplomat.com Mar 23.
As Buddhism is deeply interwoven with Mongolia’s culture, history, and ideas of sovereignty and democracy, the country’s economic and geopolitical future hangs in the balance, the report said.
Robbie Barnett, a Tibet expert at SOAS University of London, has told The Times: “It can be taken by China as a challenge to their past claim to sole authority in choosing lamas.
“These things can cascade into confrontation with China, which could penalise Mongolia in damaging ways.”
Meanwhile, in the Mongolian city of Ulan Bator, the boy as the reincarnation of the spiritual leader has caused quite a stir, as the boy is the scion of one of the city’s richest business and political dynasties under father Altannar Chinchuluun and mother Monkhnasam Narmandakh, said the dailymail.co.uk report.
This is why the Mongolian government has remained tight-lipped about the recent appearance of the Jetsun Dhampa, as they fear similar responses from China like 2016, the report said.
That was the year in which the Dalai Lama visited Mongolia and Beijing expressed its rage by imposing several measures on the country like delaying loans or closing the border, which caused Ulan Bator to ban him from visiting Mongolia again, the report noted.

Mongolia and Great Britain make waves amid Georgia's judo heroes www.euronews.com

Day two of the Tbilisi Grand Slam picked up on the incredible momentum of the first, with the stadium packed full of judo-crazy fans: few crowds on the World tour match the passion of Georgian supporters.
And it was Great Britain's Lucy Renshall who defeated Laura Fazliu from Kosovo to take the -63kg gold - a merited reward for her consistently strong performances at the highest level.
"Yeah it’s so nice just walking out the arena you hear people cheering, and we don’t have a big team here so it’s definitely not all my team," Renshall said. "When you’re going for a big throw you can hear the crowd, really going for it, so it’s nice, it’s motivating, it’s a good atmosphere."
One incredible Ippon after another
Mongolian youngster Erdenebayar Batzaya was on blistering form all-day - producing one incredible Ippon after another at -73kg
And he took the final against Uzbekhistan's Obidkhon Nomonov, with yet another Ippon deep into golden score.
Vlad Marinescu, Director General of the IJF, handed out the medals.
“I am so happy that my explosive techniques worked throughout the day," Batzaya said afterwards. "And that I was able to score like that against my opponents. I am so grateful.”
Enormous hip throw
Greek powerhouse Elisavet Teltsidou blasted her way to the -70kg final, an enormous hip throw the highlight of her qualifying bouts.
In the final, she won a tactical victory over the Dutch world and Olympic medallist Sanne van Dijke.
Austria's Wachid Borchashvili came out top of a tough -81kg contest against Kazakhstan’s Abylaikhan Zhubanazar, thanks to an effective dropping technique.
Local hero Lasha Shavdatuashvili was fighting today.
He's the only Georgian to have taken all three major titles - World, European and Olympic - and is a legend of the sport. Although he only managed to take bronze, his every move was greeted with raucous cheers from the crowd.
Always the sportsman, he's an inspiration to everyone.
Don’t miss the final day of the Tbilisi Grand Slam tomorrow.
