Mongolia and America celebrates 30th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations. While the two countries have gone through different phases of development, reform, and economic booms and crises in their domestic environments, the achievements in their bilateral ties are rooted in shared principles and values. During the past 30 years, Mongolia and the United States have augmented relations through diplomatic means in the political, economic, social, and military spheres. In 1987, Mongolia and the United States signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which declared diplomatic relations. One year later, in 1988, the USA opened embassy in Ulaanbaatar. For the past 30 years, Mongolia-U.S. relations have involved spreading democratic values and human rights; advocating and implementing policies to enable a market-based economy; advancing people-to-people and military-to-military cooperation; promoting international peace and security; thwarting regional threats; and preserving wildlife and ecosystems. The U.S. supports and funds important sectors, such as education, health, and development. Such cooperation is based on solid foundation of shared values. The U.S. supports the modernization of Mongolia’s military and its personnel by providing education and training in international peacekeeping and combat tactics both at home and abroad.
