Prime Minister Uchral Nyam-Osor met with Alois Zwinggi, President and Executive Director of the World Economic Forum (WEF), on June 24.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Prime Minister congratulated Alois Zwinggi on his appointment as the President and Executive Director of the WEF. He emphasized that Mongolia highly values the organization’s contribution to overcoming global economic challenges, defining development trends, and strengthening cooperation.  

Prime Minister Uchral noted that as geopolitical situations become increasingly complex, strengthening international trust and mutual understanding is more critical than ever. In this context, he highlighted the WEF as a vital platform that promotes dialogue between governments, the private sector, and academic institutions.

He also stated that innovation and digital transformation are crucial for diversifying the economy and increasing competitiveness. Sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), e-commerce, fintech, and renewable energy are creating new growth opportunities for developing countries. “Mongolia is keen to deepen its cooperation with the WEF in areas such as innovation, green development, mineral resources, energy transition, trade facilitation, and the digital economy,” said PM Uchral.

In January 2025, the two sides signed an agreement to implement the “Strategic Intelligence Platform” project, which supports policymakers and decision-makers with AI-based analysis and data. This agreement made Mongolia the second country in the world to establish such a partnership. Both parties are currently focusing on working closely to bring this project to tangible results.

Mongolia is actively working on an initiative to establish a “Mongolia House” during the 2027 Davos World Economic Forum. The Prime Minister expressed a strong interest in collaborating closely with the WEF to turn this initiative into reality.

Mongolia will host the 17th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification from August 17 to 28 this year. The Prime Minister emphasized that Mongolia attaches great importance to expanding cooperation with the WEF within the framework of COP17 and successfully organizing joint events.

A joint event, “YGL Learning Journey Mongolia 2026,” will take place in Mongolia on August 3-7, according to the Media and Public Relations Department of the Government of Mongolia.
