"When Korean companies invest in rare earths in Mongolia... Guaranteeing mining rights and lowering taxes" www.mk.co.kr

Mongolia and South Korea are 'strategic partners'. Mongolia welcomes Korean companies to participate in resource development such as rare earths and major infrastructure projects."
Mongolian Prime Minister Gombojab Jandanshatar has identified South Korea as a key partner to share Mongolia's future. The relationship between Korea and Mongolia is viewed as a 'strategic partner' that creates mutual profits through technical cooperation and investment beyond simply importing and exporting resources. South Korea and Mongolia have held negotiations to sign an economic partnership agreement (EPA) from 2023 until the fourth round.
In an exclusive interview with Mail Business, Prime Minister Jandanshatar, who visited Davos, Switzerland to attend the 2026 World Economic Forum's annual meeting, stressed that he would institutionalize predictability to address the "uncertainty" that South Korean companies are most concerned about when investing in Mongolia. "We understand well that investors expect 'predictability' in long-term projects where large-scale capital is invested," he said. "We have an open position to discuss agreements to fix taxes, royalties and license conditions for a 'defined period' within the current legal framework such as the Investment Act and the Mining Act."
This suggests that the Mongolian government can positively consider expectations such as "fixing investment conditions within 10 years" that the South Korean side is interested in.
He suggested cooperation measures between Korea and Mongolia, ranging from investment systems to resources, infrastructure, trade, and culture, and added, "The (Mongolia) government will consider these agreements as strategic projects to ensure the predictability of regulations and protect investors' trust."
Mongolia is seeking to advance resource development. Core mineral cooperation, including rare earths, is also expected to expand the value chain, not just mining. "Minerals development goes beyond simple mining and requires technically complex and capital-intensive separation and refining processes," Prime Minister Jandanshatar said. "Mongolia is carefully considering both domestic and foreign processing options."
In particular, he noted, "Korean companies have the opportunity to participate in downstream processing, infrastructure development, technology transfer and capacity building as well as mining." It aims to strengthen essential infrastructure such as power, water resources, and environmental licensing first. "The Korea-Mongolia Rare Metal Cooperation Center, which opened in Ulaanbaatar in December last year, will be a platform for technical cooperation and joint investment," he said.
The Prime Minister also asked Korean companies to participate in large-scale infrastructure projects to solve traffic jams and housing difficulties in the capital Ulaanbaatar.
Currently, Mongolia is promoting the construction of Ulaanbaatar subways and trams, a smart satellite city near the new airport called "Khunnu City," and a "New Karakhorum" for balanced regional development. These projects are open to international partners based on competitive and non-discriminatory principles, he said. "There is great potential for Korean companies to contribute to construction, engineering, and smart cities."
Regarding investment incentives, he also said, "Depending on the nature and size of the investment, we will provide a stable investment framework, including a public-private partnership (PPP) model or a concession agreement (a contract that gives private companies certain rights or business rights that the government or public institutions have for a certain period of time)."
Prime Minister Zandanshatar also reported that the Mongolian government recently established an "investor protection center" to solve the practical difficulties faced by Korean companies. If the aforementioned "Scarcity Metal Cooperation Center" focuses on resource technology exchanges, the center serves as a window to protect corporate property rights and solve regulatory difficulties.
It also showed a willingness to expand the field of cooperation between Korea and Mongolia to advanced digital infrastructure beyond construction and civil engineering. Referring to Mongolia's long-term development plan, Vision 2050, and the 2026-2030 Development Guidelines, which recently passed parliament, the Prime Minister stressed that he wants to cooperate with Korea in future industries such as data centers and artificial intelligence (AI) beyond simple resource exports. This is interpreted as a proposal to create new value by combining digital technologies that Korea has strengths with Mongolia's energy and resource infrastructure.
Mongolia considers it important to sign an EPA with Korea to diversify its export structure concentrated in China and Russia. If the final agreement is signed, Korea will become the second country to sign an EPA with Mongolia after Japan. "If the EPA is signed, tariffs will be removed or reduced from more than 90% of bilateral trade items," the prime minister said. "Bilateral trade, which used to be centered on minerals, will be an opportunity to expand to consumer goods and services such as high-quality livestock, dairy products, and cashmere."
To this end, the Mongolian government is preparing to enter the Korean market by introducing a quality management system and a history tracking system that meets international standards. "Korea is Mongolia's sixth trading partner and a very important partner for export diversification," he stressed.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Zandanshatar praised the cultural consensus between the two countries, citing the recent performance of Mongolian and Korean teams in the popular Netflix entertainment show "Physical: 100 (Asia)." "The traditional value of Mongolians' strong body and spirit met with Korean content and drew deep sympathy," he said. "In the future, we want to deepen mutual understanding by linking Mongolian wrestling, horseback riding, and nomadic culture with the Korean content industry."
Prime Minister Gombojab Jandanshatar
Mongolian Prime Minister Gombojab Jandanshatar is a former financial expert who served as vice president of the Central Bank of Mongolia (BOM) and Khan Bank and is a leading "economic expert" politician who founded the Mongolian Economic Forum (MEF). He led Mongolia's constitutional revision and governance transparency by serving as foreign minister and speaker of the National Assembly, and took office as the 33rd prime minister in June last year. Based on abundant practical experience and global senses such as Stanford University training, he is currently leading economic innovation, including Mongolia's resource diplomacy and expansion of foreign investment.

Environmental Audit Licenses Now Available Online in Mongolia www.montsame.mn

The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has begun issuing environmental audit licenses electronically, as part of efforts to make public services faster, more transparent, and free of unnecessary bureaucracy.
Previously, renewing a license required multiple layers of review, official orders, signatures, stamps, and paper documents, taking between two weeks and one month. Under the new system, applicants who submit compliant materials through the government’s electronic licensing platform, license.mn, can receive approval within 10 minutes. The ministry said the reform helps businesses save time and costs, reduces human involvement, bureaucracy, and corruption risks, and improves transparency and equal access to public services.
Environmental audits serve as an independent mechanism to assess the implementation of and compliance with environmental protection laws and standards. Under the law, enterprises that use natural resources are required to undergo an environmental audit every two years. Streamlining the licensing process has therefore become a practical solution that supports environmental protection while promoting sustainable business development. The ministry also noted that it plans to gradually digitize other licenses it issues.

Earthmoving work for Thermal Power Plant-V to begin on February 15 www.gogo.mn

Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar visited the site of the Thermal Power Plant V project on February 3, 2026, a development intended to meet Ulaanbaatar’s growing electricity and heat demand and reduce pressure on the central energy system.
The plant will be built on the former ash pond of TPP-2 in Bayangol district and is planned to have a generation capacity of 300 MW of electricity and 340 Gcal of heat. The design incorporates environmentally friendly technologies, including an air-cooling system that reduces water use and wastewater-reuse solutions.
Officials say the plant will supply electricity to about 100,000 households and heat to 40,000 households. 90% of electricity produced will be fed into the central grid; the remaining 10% will cover the plant’s internal needs.
Earthmoving work will begin on February 15, starting with removal of ash accumulated since TPP-2 began operating in 1961. Main construction work is scheduled to start in April after completion of preparatory works. The construction period is estimated at 2.5 years.
The project is structured as a public–private partnership with a total cost of USD 658.5 million: the private sector will provide 80% of the financing and the capital city 20%.

Kh.Nyambaatar: Sergelen substation to enter service this year www.gogo.mn

Khunnu city is planned on 31,000 hectares in Sergelen soum’s New Aviation Zone. Infrastructure work, electricity, water, heat supply, flood-protection canal, sewage, is being started in stages to support the new city.
Officials report the Sergelen substation is 92% complete. As part of the substation project, a 100 MW solar array and a 90 MW battery storage station will also be built. The capital city will select the final contractor for the battery/solar package this month through a public–private partnership process, city officials said.
Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar has stressed the strategic importance of developing Sergelen as a transit node for Ulaanbaatar’s energy transmission to ensure reliable operation of the capital’s power system.
Mayor Kh.Nyambaatar said, “The contractor is working to put the Sergelen substation into operation this year. The station will connect to the Songinokhairkhan substation in the west and the Nalaikh substation in the east, serving as a transit hub for the city’s energy flows. The 90 MW battery will also be built to charge Khunnu from its own sources and share the load during peak hours. We expect the PPP contractor selection to be completed within this month. Once connected to the Sergelen substation, the battery will meaningfully reduce missing energy consumption.”
City and national authorities note Mongolia’s electricity demand is rising 11–15% per year. To bolster supply, the capital has already commissioned the 300 MW Buuruljuut power plant and a 50 MW Baganuur battery storage facility. Construction of Thermal Power Plant- V is due to begin next April and the plant is expected to be commissioned in 2028.
Officials say the combined commissioning of the Sergelen substation, the 100 MW solar farm and the 90 MW battery storage will help eliminate energy shortages in Ulaanbaatar by strengthening transmission capacity, adding local generation and improving peak-hour resilience.

All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Mongolia established in the UK Parliament www.embassyofmongolia.co.uk

An All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Mongolia has been newly established in the UK Parliament. The Ambassador of Mongolia, Mr Enkhsukh Battumur, attended the inaugural meeting on 2 February 2026. 
The APPG on Mongolia was initiated by Mr James Wild MP, who serves as Chair, while Ms Catherine West MP serving as Vice-Chair. Mr Dave Doogan and Baroness Northover serve as Officers. More than 20 Members of Parliament have joined the APPG on Mongolia. The inaugural meeting was attended by Mr James Wild MP, Ms Catherine West MP, Mr Dave Doogan MP, Baroness Northover, Mr Fabian Hamilton MP, Baroness Evans, Lord Cromwell, Baroness Uddin, Baroness Hooper and Earl of Courtown. The meeting was also attended by officials, including Ms Karen Maddocks, Deputy Director of the Northeast Asia Directorate at the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, and Ms Sophie Warrell, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy in Ulaanbaatar.
The APPG on Mongolia was first established in 1995 in the UK Parliament and has since actively contributed to discussions on Mongolia-United Kingdom relations, raised parliamentary questions to the UK Government, sought relevant information, and provided necessary support within the framework of Parliament. The support of successive members of the APPG on Mongolia played an important role in assisting Mongolia during its challenging transition period.
Members of the re-established APPG expressed their interest in receiving comprehensive briefings on the policies and measures being implemented by the Government of Mongolia in areas including critical minerals, renewable energy, environmental protection, the role of women in society and security. They further expressed their readiness to support, at the parliamentary level, efforts to enhance Mongolia-UK relations and cooperation in these areas.
APPGs are voluntary, cross-party groups established by Members of Parliament on specific countries or issues of shared interest and must comprise at least 20 representatives from the principal political parties represented in Parliament. Following recent revisions to the rules governing APPGs, under which each Member may formally join no more than six such groups, the establishment of new groups has become more restricted. In this context, the establishment of the APPG on Mongolia in the newly constituted UK Parliament in 2024, in accordance with the revised rules, reflects the importance attached to Mongolia by the UK Parliament.

Mongolia Ranks Among Asia’s Safest Countries www.insidemongolia.mn

Mongolia ranks 5th among Asia’s safest countries, marking its strongest-ever performance in the Global Peace Index.
🗒️ The Global Peace Index (GPI) scores countries on a scale of 1 to 5, with lower scores indicating higher levels of peace. The index ranks 163 countries based on 3 core domains such as societal safety and security, ongoing conflict, and militarisation.
📈 Over the past decade
Mongolia’s Global Peace Index performance has generally improved over the past ten years, consistently placing the country within the global top 50. For example, Mongolia ranked 42nd globally in 2015 with a score of 2.22. By 2025, its score improved to 1.719, lifting the country to fifth place in Asia and 37th globally out of 163 countries.
🤩 While the Global Peace Index has deteriorated globally for the 13th consecutive year, Mongolia stands out as an exception, showing continued improvement.
Key drivers of this positive trend include a low level of ongoing conflict, relatively modest military expenditure, stable crime rates, and the absence of armed conflict. As a result, Mongolia has emerged as one of Asia’s more peaceful and stable countries.  
🚨 Common Crimes in Mongolia
Despite Mongolia’s strong standing as a relatively peaceful country, certain internal security challenges intensified over the past year. Traffic-related violations, corruption cases, and cybercrime recorded the sharpest increases. On the human side, 24,600 individuals were directly affected by crime, including 1,409 children under 18 (5.7%) and 11,341 women (46.1%). The number of people injured rose by 8.2% to 5,680, while fatalities increased by 18.6% year-on-year, with 567 lives lost compared to the same period in 2024.
Finally… Is Mongolia safe? Yes. However, travellers should take basic precautions, particularly on the roads, in crowded areas, and online. With sensible awareness and responsibility, travelling in Mongolia can be both safe and fascinating.

Mongolia’s Trump ‘Board of Peace’ membership revives its ‘Third Neighbour’ playbook www.intellinews.com

Pressed between two powerful neighbours and perpetually wary of being drawn too near the orbit of either Moscow or Beijing, Mongolia has joined US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace,” a move that reflects the country’s longstanding effort to diversify its political partnerships.
The Mongolian government has not released details on the scope of its participation or any financial commitments associated with the initiative.
Trump has described the “Board of Peace” as a multilateral initiative focused on conflict mediation, postwar stabilisation and economic reconstruction, with Gaza identified as its initial priority. The initiative’s broader structure and long-term scope beyond Gaza have not yet been fully detailed.
Western countries, as well as Russia and China, have largely declined to join the initiative, but for Mongolia, the calculation appears less ideological than pragmatic. As a developing nation with vast resources but limited infrastructure, Ulaanbaatar may be able to use the Board to curry political and economic favour with Washington.
Third neighbours
Mongolia’s foreign policy emphasises maintaining close relations with countries beyond Russia and China — a framework known as the “third neighbour” strategy — to preserve diplomatic autonomy and reduce dependence on its immediate neighbours. The United States plays a central symbolic and strategic role in that approach.
“Historically, Mongolia has used moments of crisis to bond with the US, for example, by condemning the 1990 invasion of Kuwait or by joining the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ [in Iraq] in 2003,” said Amar Adiya, editor of the Mongolia Weekly online newsletter. 
In 2003, Mongolia committed troops to the US-led forces that fought the Iraq War. Here, Maj. Gen. T. Togoo, then chief of the Mongolian Army General Staff, greets Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, who visited Mongolia to relay Washington’s thanks (Credit: American Forces Press Service, public domain).
“Just as James Baker coined the ‘Third Neighbour’ term in 1990, the Board of Peace founding membership is the 2026 update — the ‘Third Neighbour’ 2.0,” said Amar. “It’s a way to ensure the US remains an active counterbalance to Russia and China, especially as Trump pivots to a ‘great power’ competition centred on critical minerals.”
Mongolia’s leadership, notably Prime Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav, is likely viewing the Board as a way to secure high-level access to the US administration.
“For Mongolia, the Board of Peace is less about world peace, despite the official narrative, and more about a presidential ‘fast-pass’ to the White House,” added Amar. “Zandanshatar knows that in Trump’s world, as in Mongolian domestic politics, you trade favours.”
Ulaanbaatar goals
Potential goals for Ulaanbaatar could include easing US immigration restrictions on Mongolian citizens and advancing economic cooperation. Mongolia also seeks more Western investment in its mining industry.
“This is an attempt to swap a seat at the table for a relaxation of the immigration visa freeze on Mongolians and gain more economic and investment deals, for example, critical minerals and direct flights,” Amar said.
Ulaanbaatar is also looking to extend Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compacts funded by the United States. The first major project, a $285mn compact completed in 2013, focused on land rights, health, vocational training, energy and transport. A second, $350mn Water Compact targeted chronic water shortages in Ulaanbaatar. 
Blair involvement
A Trump visit to Ulaanbaatar or the long-discussed launch of direct flights between the two countries would be seen domestically as a diplomatic coup, Amar said.
He added that former British prime minister Tony Blair — who sits on the Board’s executive committee — may have played a behind-the-scenes role in bringing Mongolia into the fold. 
Blair “likely served as the bridge,” Amar said. 
Amar also suggested Ulaanbaatar could use the Board of Peace initiative to expand deployments of its United Nations peacekeeping soldiers.
“Given that the UN mandate in South Sudan is winding down, Mongolia is looking for a new home for its elite peacekeepers,” he said. “Repurposing these troops for ‘Board of Peace’ stabilisation missions in places like Haiti could serve as an ‘in-kind’ contribution, allowing Mongolia to skip paying the $1 billion [Board] membership fee.”
Julian Dierkes, a Mongolia expert at the University of Mannheim in Germany, said the decision to join the Board was consistent with Mongolia’s pattern of joining multilateral initiatives.
“Part of Mongolia’s foreign policy is the intention to maintain friendly relations with as many countries as possible,” Dierkes said. “That means that Mongolia has eagerly joined almost all multilateral initiatives available to the government.”
Complications and a balancing act
That approach has previously created diplomatic complications, he said, pointing to a 2024 incident involving a visit to Ulaanbaatar by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mongolia is party to the International Criminal Court (ICC), which has a warrant out for the arrest of Putin for war crimes. Yet despite their agreements with the ICC, Mongolia welcomed Putin with a red carpet. 
In September 2004, Mongolia essentially ignored an International Criminal Court arrest warrant out for Vladimir Putin as it welcomed the Russian leader for an official visit. Putin is seen with Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh during the visit (Credit: Russian Presidency, cc-by-sa 4.0).
Dierkes added that the government may perceive limited downside to participation.
“A radically realistic or perhaps cynical analysis might also suggest that the ‘Board of Peace’ will achieve exactly nothing, so that there is also very little cost to joining,” he said.
He also noted the continued importance of the US in Mongolia’s diplomatic calculations.
“Of course, the US is of particular, if largely symbolic, importance to the Mongolian government in maintaining ‘third neighbour’ links to counter pressure from its two overbearing immediate neighbours,” Dierkes said.
Amar described Mongolia’s current posture as a careful balancing act.
“Mongolia is playing a delicate game of ‘Three-Way Neutrality,’” he said. “If Moscow is open to the Board, Ulaanbaatar has a green light to flirt with Washington without fearing a backlash from the Kremlin.”
For now, Beijing’s response remains muted, and Ulaanbaatar appears willing to take the risk — betting that another seat at another table, even a controversial one, is better than being left out altogether.

About 50,000 children have domestic accidents every year www.gogo.mn

The “Methods for preventing road traffic accidents for children under 10” training was organized in 150 kindergartens in 2025, involving 11,000 parents, guardians, and caregivers.
Over the past three years, about 60,000 parents and guardians have participated in the training through more than 700 training sessions.
Starting from the 2025-2026 school year, we are working with the “Children are traveling” NGO to include 100% of parents and guardians of 2-year-old children attending preschool education in the training.
In the future, the training will be expanded to include methods for preventing child domestic accidents. On average, about 50,000 children have domestic accidents every year, and 80.1% of them are exposed to them while under the supervision of their parents or guardians.
This indicates that parents and guardians do not fully understand and are not knowledgeable about how to prevent their children from potential risks, domestic accidents, and deaths.
Therefore, it is extremely important to organize training for parents and guardians on ways to protect their children from domestic and other types of risks and to familiarize them with their risks, from the moment the child begins attending educational institutions, according to the General Authority for Education.

From Mongolia to Team USA, Opening Ceremony fashion takes centre stage at Milano Cortina 2026 www.olympics.com

From head-turning traditional designs from Team Mongolia to the stars and stripes of Team USA, the national uniforms for Friday’s (6 February) Opening Ceremony at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 are sure to make fashion waves in one of the world’s fashion capitals.
Team Mongolia
Perhaps the most anticipated Opening Ceremony look comes from Mongolia, who stunned with their uniform two years ago at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
The 2026 edition features Mongolian cashmere and draws inspiration from attire of the Great Mongol Empire of the 13th – 15th centuries, according to a social media post from GOYOL and the Mongolian National Olympic Committee.
Team GB
The Brits will be sporting the Union Jack as they enter the Milano San Siro Olympic Stadium. Designed by Ben Sherman, the team will march in zip-up sweaters, along with Great Britain-themed beanies and scarves.
Team New Zealand
The athletes from New Zealand will find inspiration in their Opening Ceremony jackets – literally. A QR code woven into their all-black fit takes them to a digital platform filled with support from fellow Kiwis and fans from across the globe.
Team Canada
Lululemon once again outfits Team Canada with their Milano designs featuring red and maroon, spectacled wear and a bright red Canada hat.
Team Italy
Designed by Giorgio Armani before his death last year, the Italian kit made its world debut at Milan Fashion Week last month.
The look features a mostly white coat with red, white and green accents near the colour. An ‘Italia’ ear warmer completes the ensemble.
Team USA
Outfitted for the 10th Olympic Games edition by Ralph Lauren, the U.S. squad will don long white jackets, accompanied by red, white and blue Americana-themed sweaters and a matching hat. Brown boots complete the look.
Team Australia
The Aussies’ Opening Ceremony uniform features a Sportscraft white cable-knit sweater and white blazer. The blazer features gold medal buttons and the Olympic Oath sewn into the lining, along with all the names of all previous Australian Winter Olympians.
Team Norway
The Norwegians will pay homage to the past with their kit at Milano Cortina, as Dale reimagines the uniform worn in Cortina some 70 years ago.
Team France
Designed by Le Coq Sportif, Team France’s uniforms feature soft blues and pinks in an abstract design.

Mongolia’s Hunnu Air eyes network gains following E2-based fleet modernisation www.flightglobal.com

Mongolian operator Hunnu Air is looking at growth opportunities in Southeast Asia, India and Central Asia, spurred by its recent fleet modernisation efforts.
The privately-owned carrier will commence flights to Tashkent in Uzkekistan this year and is looking at launching scheduled flights to Indian capital Delhi, and points in Vietnam and the Philippines, says airline commercial head Turbold Tserenkhuu.
Tserenkhuu spoke to FlightGlobal at the Singapore air show, where a Hunnu Embraer E195-E2 – the airline’s newest jet – is on the static display.
Tserenkhuu touts the “incredible fuel efficiency and range” of its E2 fleet, allowing it to conduct longer-range operations
Hunnu took delivery of its first E2 in May 2025, becoming one of the region’s newest operators of the type. The airline, which also operates a pair of Embarer 190s, now has two E195-E2s in service, both of which are configured to seat 136 passengers in a two-class layout. 
Tserenkhuu touts the “incredible fuel efficiency and range” of the new jets, which allows it to conduct flights of 6h or more.
In fact, Hunnu recently operated one of the E2’s longest nonstop flights, a charter service between Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia and Phu Quoc in Vietnam that lasted 6h 30m.
The E2s are also operating routes into China – including to Beijing’s Daxing airport and Sanya in the south – its largest current market.
Tserenkhuu points out Mongolia’s “geographical advantage” of being situated between China and Russia, as well as between central and east Asia.
This, in turn, allows Hunnu to slowly build up a transit network between the two regions, providing more sustainable travel demand through the year. Tserenkhuu estimates transit traffic to make up a small proportion of total traffic but is hopeful this will increase in the longer term.
Hunnu began operations in the early 2010s flying between Mongolia to major hubs in Asia with a small fleet of Airbus narrowbodies. But the carrier changed its business model in 2015, to instead focus on regional and short-haul operations.
Tserenkhuu also reveals that Hunnu will consider larger narrowbody jets – including Airbus narrowbodies – in the long term, as it looks at network opportunity in the Middle East.
