21.07.2026, Mongolia

Dear members of the media,
Ladies and gentlemen,

First of all, I would like to once again express my gratitude to the esteemed President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh, the Government, and the people of Mongolia for their warm welcome and hospitality.

We attach particular importance to the consistent development and strengthening of friendly relations and mutually beneficial cooperation with friendly Mongolia in all areas of mutual interest.

We view today’s meetings and talks as a logical continuation of the intergovernmental dialogue between our two countries.

We consider regular contacts at the highest and high levels an important factor in creating favorable conditions for further expanding the agenda of our bilateral relations.

In this context, we welcome the addition of a new package of documents on cooperation in areas of mutual interest to the legal framework for relations between our countries. Following the talks, a number of new documents were signed that strengthen the legal and contractual foundation of our cooperation.

The talks also focused on exploring new avenues and mechanisms for expanding trade and economic cooperation.

Promising areas identified included manufacturing, particularly light and food industries, energy, construction, agriculture, including livestock farming, and a number of other real economic sectors.

In this regard, we discussed the possibility of jointly implementing investment projects in these and other economic sectors.

At the same time, the need to increase bilateral trade and expand the structure of trade was emphasized.

We consider the holding of the Second Business Forum of the two countries on the sidelines of the current state visit to be an important step in this direction.

We believe that the results of this Forum and the first meeting of the Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation will contribute to the intensification of bilateral trade.

The Tajik side expressed its readiness to implement specific measures in all these areas.

We viewed the further development of cultural and humanitarian ties as an important factor in strengthening the foundations of friendship between the peoples of Tajikistan and Mongolia.

In this regard, we expressed our interest in expanding interstate relations in science and education, culture, youth policy, tourism, sports, and other social sectors.

We welcomed the holding of Tajik Culture Days in Mongolia.

We support the regular holding of such cultural and humanitarian exchanges.

During the talks, we exchanged views on pressing issues on the international and regional agendas.

We expressed our interest in continuing the constructive partnership between the two countries to find viable solutions to existing regional and international problems.

Ensuring peace and stability, security, and sustainable development were among the key topics.

Tajikistan, as a peace-loving country, always advocates for lasting peace and stability, harmony, and mutual understanding among countries.

Recently, at Tajikistan’s initiative, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring 2027–2036 the «Decade of Strengthening Peace for Future Generations.»

In this regard, I express my gratitude to friendly Mongolia, which, along with our other international partners, supported this new initiative by Tajikistan.

Water and climate issues, particularly climate change and adaptation to its impacts, were also at the forefront of our attention.

Tajikistan welcomes the 17th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (COP-17), which will be held in August of this year in Ulaanbaatar.

We view this event as an important step towards strengthening global cooperation in environmental protection.

We highly appreciate Mongolia’s ongoing efforts in this area.

We express our readiness to continue cooperation with this friendly country in the international arena, including through the implementation of Tajikistan’s global initiatives in the water and climate sector.

We are pleased with today’s talks, which took place in an atmosphere of mutual understanding, trust, and respect.

We are confident that the results of these talks will contribute to the further strengthening and expansion of friendly ties and mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries.

In conclusion, I wish friendly Mongolia continued progress and prosperity, and its people — peace, stability, and growing well-being.

Thank you.
