Digital Transformation: 90 Percent of Public Services to Go Online www.montsame.mn

The Government of Mongolia approved the “Digital First” initiative last September, which aims to digitize government policies, decisions, and all public services through technology to enhance efficiency and accessibility.
During the Prime Minister’s meeting with media representatives on November 9, 2025, Minister of Digital Development, Innovation, and Communications Batshugar Enkhbayar highlighted that conditions will be created for 90 percent of public services to be delivered digitally, saving an estimated MNT 1.1 trillion.
According to studies, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into public procurement could increase institutional productivity by 10-20 percent. For example, the Erdenet Mining Corporation has digitalized its procurement process with AI, reducing tender processing time from 28 days to just 4 minutes.
In September, Mongolia connected public services to AI for the first time by launching the “E-Mongolia 5.0” system, through which citizens can now access 1,278 government services online.

Direct Hanoi-Ulaanbaatar route to begin operating in December 2025 www.english.vov.vn

Aero Mongolia is set to launch direct Ulaanbaatar-Hanoi route in December, a service expected to boost tourism exchanges between Vietnam and Mongolia alongside visa-free travel policies.
It will operate the direct Ulaanbaatar-Hanoi route from mid-December 2025 through February 2026 as part of its winter schedule. The airline plans to run one weekly service using a narrow-body aircraft.
With a flight time of approximately five hours, the route will greatly reduce travel time between the two capitals, eliminating the need for lengthy layovers in the Republic of Korea (RoK) or Hong Kong, China. Air and tourism connectivity between Mongolia and Vietnam has strengthened in recent years, while the countries’ distinct landscapes, climate, and local cultures continue to attract visitors.
Since late 2024, Mongolian Airlines, the national carrier of Mongolia, has operated a direct route between Ho Chi Minh City and Ulaanbaatar. From Ulaanbaatar, travelers can access other destinations within Mongolia via domestic flights.

Government Submits Five-Year Development Policy for 2026–2030 to Parliament www.montsame.mn

The Government of Mongolia submitted to the State Great Khural the draft Resolution on the Approval of the Five-Year Development Guidelines of Mongolia for 2026-2030 on October 30, 2025. In connection with this, Prime Minister of Mongolia Zandanshatar Gombojav met with media representatives on November 9, 2025, to present the policy framework titled “New Trust - Bold Reform” and provide detailed information. Cabinet members and relevant officials attended the meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Prime Minister Zandanshatar introduced Mongolia’s five-year development policy. He noted that Article 27.1.5 of the Constitution stipulates the stability of development policy and planning, emphasizing that Mongolia must learn from the past 30 years and define the path ahead. The prime minister stated that frequent policy changes with each change in government had been a major shortcoming in the past.
The new policy was developed in accordance with the Law on Development Policy and Planning, based on scientific evidence, and reflecting public opinion, as well as ensuring coherence and unity of objectives across all stages of planning and implementation. The draft was developed through consultations with scholars and researchers from the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, research institutions, and universities. Following the enactment of the Law on Development Policy and Planning in 2020, Mongolia adopted its first-ever five-year development policy. According to the law, the next five-year policy must be submitted to the State Great Khural two months before the expiry of the previous one. Accordingly, the draft Five-Year Development Guidelines of Mongolia for 2026-2030 has now been submitted.
The new policy aligns with “Vision-2050,” Mongolia’s long-term development policy, and the Government Action Program for 2024–2028. It encompasses eight strategic directions: Human Development; Social Development and Shared National Values; Economic and Infrastructure Development; Environment and Green Economy; Governance and Digital Transformation; Regional Development; National Competitiveness; and Science, Technology, and Artificial Intelligence. Within these areas, the document outlines 10 national goals, 35 sectoral outcomes, 85 institutional objectives, and 200 program results.
A key feature of the new framework is the inclusion of 10 national goals under the eight policy directions. These include raising productivity and diversification in the processing industry to sustain stable economic growth above 6 percent.
The policy also aims to narrow regional development disparities, promote economic diversification, and balance population migration, thereby increasing regional development indicators by 20 percent. It sets goals to improve the business environment, reduce state involvement in markets, promote fair competition, protect the rights of entrepreneurs and investors, and deepen tax and customs reforms. Mongolia’s competitiveness index is targeted to place the country among the world’s top 50 economies within the next five years.
In the education and health sectors, the plan seeks to ensure equitable access to quality services, develop a workforce aligned with labor market demands, and raise the Human Development Index to 0.813. Labor relations, wages, and social insurance will be better aligned to boost employment, reduce workplace accidents and labor rights violations and disputes, and expand the middle class by 20 percent.
Anti-corruption and governance actions will be taken to strengthen public trust in the judiciary and the rule of law, enhance transparency and accountability, improve national defense and resilience capacity, and expand citizen-centered digital public services under the principle of “Digital First.” As a result, Mongolia aims to rank among the world’s top 90 countries in governance indicators.

Human rights assessment of E-Mongolia system conducted www.ubpost.mn

As part of its ongoing “Human Rights and e-Technology” public review, the National Human Rights Commission of Mongolia (NHRCM) is evaluating the legal and technological framework of the e-Mongolia system and the digitalization of civil registration.
From November 3–4, International Consultant Dr. Christoph Sperfeldt, a Senior Lecturer at Macquarie University in Australia, visited Ulaanbaatar to work on the study’s findings and recommendations. During his visit, Dr. Sperfeldt collaborated with the legal and technology teams of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the e-Mongolian Academy, the National Institute of Public Education, and other industry experts.
In addition to this core human rights assessment, the NHRCM conducted a sociological study on the accessibility, usability, and user experience of the e-Mongolia system. Conducted with the support of the international consulting firm Dalberg and the Independent Research Institute, the survey included 5,000 users from Ulaanbaatar City and four provinces. Findings revealed that the system is largely effective and convenient: 96 percent of respondents viewed it positively, 48 percent said it reduced costs compared to visiting government agencies in person, and many highlighted its ability to save time and paper. However, the study also indicated that users’ understanding of personal data protection remains insufficient.
A public discussion presenting the human rights assessment and the digitalization of civil registration is scheduled for December 2. The assessment is conducted with financial support from the Australian Government and forms a key component of the NHRCM’s oversight of technology and human rights in Mongolia.

The Mongolian woman who will represent Serbia at Miss Universe has announced: "My roots are Asian, and my passport is Serbian" www.slobodenpecat.mk

After the stormy reactions in Serbia over the decision to have a girl of Mongolian and Russian descent represent the Miss Universe 2025 pageant, Jelena Egorova decided to speak out and share his message with the public.
Jelena Egorova, born in Yakutia in 1997, posted a message on her Instagram profile, where she introduced herself with a ribbon that says "Serbia".
"I am honored to represent Serbia, a country that welcomed me with open arms. My roots are Asian, my passport is Serbian, but my goal is universal – to show that beauty today means connection, not division. I want every girl who feels 'different' to see that she can belong anywhere, wherever she brings kindness, respect and strength."
"I am proud to represent Serbia, a country that welcomed me. My heritage connects Europe and Asia, and I see it as a bridge, not a border," she said.
Vesna Jugovic de Vinci, former organizer of the Miss Serbia pageant, reacted sharply to the situation, describing it as "unprecedented chaos."
"Nobody chose her. Albanian women represent multiple countries, how is that? So, complete chaos has occurred in the Miss Universe organization. This is a huge scandal for us... This Mongolian woman does not know Serbian, I guarantee that she does not have a passport, there are no conditions for it, she is lying and they are all lying, this Miss Universe organization is falling apart," she said.
Although the organizers of Miss Serbia claim that the country is not officially participating in the pageant this year, Egorova continues to present herself as a Serbian candidate.

116 deaths reported this year www.ubpost.mn

According to the Police Department of Ulaanbaatar, 116 people have died in traffic accidents in Ulaanbaatar City during the first nine months of this year, 67 of whom were pedestrians struck while crossing streets at or near intersections and crosswalks. By comparison, in 2024, a total of 176 pedestrians died while crossing both designated and undesignated areas of the road.
Senior Specialist and Police Major G.Otgontamir from the department’s Prevention Division warned that the number of pedestrian accidents tends to rise in winter as roads become slippery due to snow and ice. “Drivers are obliged to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections,” G.Otgontamir said. “When crossing at an uncontrolled or unlit crosswalk, pedestrians should make sure that approaching vehicles are slowing down or have come to a complete stop before stepping onto the roadway. Vehicles traveling in the outer lane are also required to reduce speed if the car in the inner lane stops to let a pedestrian pass. Unfortunately, many accidents occur when one driver yields but another, coming from the next lane, fails to slow down and strikes the pedestrian. This risk increases after snowfall due to slippery road surfaces,” he explained.
He emphasized that it is particularly tragic when pedestrians lose their lives while following the traffic rules at designated crossings. “Both drivers and pedestrians must act responsibly. Drivers must stop and give way when a pedestrian is standing at the edge of the road, as required by traffic regulations. Those who violate Article 16.1 of the Law on Traffic Safety are subject to fines,” he added.
In a separate incident, police reported that at around 4:00 a.m. on November 6, in the 15th khoroo of Khan-Uul District, a vehicle struck a road worker and fled the scene. Responding officers discovered that the victim had died at the scene. Following an immediate search operation, police identified and apprehended the suspected driver, a 19-year-old male named A, who is now under investigation, according to the Police Department. Moreover, authorities reiterated their call for heightened caution from both drivers and pedestrians as winter conditions worsen, stressing that adherence to traffic rules is crucial to prevent further loss of life.

Embassy of Mongolia celebrates 50th Anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations with Kuwait www.timeskuwait.com

To commemorate 50th Anniversary of establishment of diplomatic ties between Mongolia and Kuwait, in conjunction with the 101st anniversary of the Proclamation Day of Mongolia, the Embassy of Mongolia in the State of Kuwait hosted a grand reception featuring a Mongolian traditional cultural folklore performance by the Mongolian Grand Theatre of National Arts and a Mongolian fashion show.
The event took place on Dece 7, 2025, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Kuwait City. The invitef guests experienced Mongolia’s rich cultural heritage through its music, dance, and traditional attire — offering a vivid reflection of the nomadic spirit and cultural identity of the Mongolian people.
Following the Grand Reception, the Embassy also plans to organize a Mongolian traditional food exhibition and a horse racing competition named in honor of Mongolia, both scheduled for December 2025.
The event marked a historic milestone embodying five decades of friendship, mutual respect, and fruitful cooperation founded on shared values and a common commitment to peace, stability, and development.
Since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1975, Mongolia and Kuwait have consistently strengthened their partnership through excellent political relations, active dialogue, and collaboration across a wide range of sectors.
The relationship has been further enhanced by frequent high-level exchanges and constructive cooperation within regional and international frameworks.
A cornerstone of this partnership has been the close cooperation between the Government of Mongolia and the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, which has played a significant role in supporting Mongolia’s socio-economic development through concessional loans and financial assistance for key national infrastructure projects.
In recent years, relations between Mongolia and Kuwait have expanded steadily in the fields of transportation, sports, culture, tourism, and particularly food security, following the successful launch of Mongolia’s meat exports to Kuwait in October 2024.
Another major step forward was the signing of the Air Service Agreement on January 18, 2025, which established a legal framework for the introduction of direct flights between the two countries — a move expected to further deepen cooperation in all areas.
