Gerelmaa Davaasuren: We Look forward to Opening a New Chapter in Our Bilateral Relations
Ulaanbaatar, August 2, 2024 /MONTSAME/. As part of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and the Swiss Confederation, we spoke with Gerelmaa Davaasuren, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Mongolia to the Swiss Confederation.
-Over the past six decades, how has the diplomatic relationship between Mongolia and Switzerland progressed, and could you highlight some key milestones or significant achievements that have marked the history of engagement between the two nations?
-Although formal diplomatic relations between Mongolia and Switzerland were established in 1964, Switzerland held a significant place in Mongolia’s strategic vision as early as the 1920s. Following the restoration of its independence, Mongolia’s leaders regarded Switzerland as a model for development, aspiring to emulate its path towards neutrality, democratic principles, and market economy.
