In his message, President Battulga said:

“On behalf of the people of Mongolia, let me extend cordial congratulations to You and the friendly people of Russia on the occasion of the Russia Day.

I am pleased to note that the traditional relations between Mongolia and Russia, based on the trust, ideals and mutually beneficial cooperation of friendly neighbors, are deepening in line with the strategic partnership principles.

I am highly satisfied with the successful outcome of our bilateral meeting and the fourth Tripartite Meeting between the heads of state of Mongolia, Russia and China, held on the sidelines of the 18th Meeting of the Council of Heads of Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Qingdao, China. I am committed to actively cooperating with You on realizing the matters discussed at these meetings.

Furthermore, we successfully organized the ‘Mongolian-Russian Initiative – 2018’ series of events on June 7th-9th in Ulaanbaatar. I am delighted to say that the Mongolia-Russia Intergovernmental Agreement on Transit Transport by Railway was signed during the series of events.

I would like emphasize the crucial importance of the joint celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Battle of Khalkha River, which will fall next year, in promoting true history among the younger generation and strengthening the trust between the people of Mongolia and Russia.

Let me take this opportunity to wish You, dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, good health and success, and to the people of Russia peace and prosperity.”
