President Vladimir Putin said relations between Russia and Mongolia are developing in all directions on Tuesday.
Mr Putin arrived in Mongolia on an official visit on Monday. He would take part in celebrations dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the joint victory of the Soviet and Mongolian armed forces at the Khalkh River.
“Indeed, relations between Russia and Mongolia are developing in all directions,’’ Mr Putin said at a meeting with Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh.
Mr Putin underscored the importance of effective work in humanitarian areas, particularly in the field of education.
“Today, in the course of our work, we will certainly return to the main areas of our cooperation in the economy,’’ Mr Putin noted.
In turn, the President of Mongolia thanked Putin for the visit, which took place in a year when the two countries celebrated several anniversaries at once.
The celebrations included the 80th anniversary of the joint victory on the Khalkhin Gol River and the 50th anniversary of the founding of the city of Erdenet.
