The Delegation of the European Union to Mongolia hosted the EU day Mongolia at the Sukhbaatar square

On the occasion of the 30^th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and the European Union, the Delegation of the European Union to Mongolia hosted the EU day Mongolia at the Sukhbaatar square. The event provided the public with an opportunity to get to know the EU member states through their tradition and culture, receive detailed information and advice on studying and traveling in the countries and getting Schengen visa, visit a trade fair of the EU countries' entities, as well as to enjoy the countries’ cuisine and art performances. Moreover, during the event, information was given on over 20 EU-funded projects being implemented in Mongolia. EU is Mongolia’s third-biggest trade partner, according to the Concept of Mongolia’s foreign policy. Thus, Mongolia has been working on intensifying its relations with the EU and its member states in all possible areas. For instance, a meeting of the Ambassadors of EU member states has been taking place regularly in Ulaanbaatar since 2009. The establishment of the Office of the Delegation of the European Union to Mongolia in 2017 opened up an opportunity to elevate bilateral relations and cooperate more efficiently in more areas.
