I am happy to avail myself of this opportunity to thank the visitors of this informative web site for their interest in Mongolia. I trust this web site will help to enhance their knowledge and understanding of Mongolia, its industrious and hospitable people.

Mongolia has a thousand-year tradition of statehood and a distinctive earthly and spiritual culture. Mongolia and its people have made a definite contribution to the formation of a unique civilization among the nomadic peoples of Central Asia and to the development of cultural ties between the nations of East and West.

In the course of history, the Mongolian people have had to endure much hardship, as the visitors will learn for themselves by going through this web site. The Mongols throughout the ages have displayed an unflinching aspiration for freedom and independence, to preserve and augment their culture and national traditions, and they are a worthy and vital nation.

Since the 1921 People’s Revolution, Mongolia is steadily pursuing its own course of social progress. This web site depicts the development of its economy and culture, the life and welfare of its people, and the quite unique nature of the country and its riches.

As a developing country, Mongolia is striving today to achieve radical renovation of all spheres of its social life in order to scale the heights of modern progress through humane, democratic society, relying mainly on the economic and intellectual resources of the Mongolian nation itself, on the basis of a concensus of all its socio-political forces. An important component of Mongolia’s policy of renewal is the active development of a system of mutually beneficial co-operation in economy, trade, science and technology, culture, ecology and other spheres with countries across the world. Mongolia and Mongols want friendship, mutual understanding and trust, and co-operation on an equal footing with all the near and faraway, large and small countries and peoples for the sake of universal peace and progress.

I hope that this web site will facilitate understanding and attainment of Mongolia’s lofty objectives.
