Khurelsukh Ukhnaa asked Wang Yi to convey his sincere greetings and best wishes to President Xi Jinping. Khurelsukh Ukhnaa stated that he is deeply honored to have built a profound friendship and mutual trust with President Xi Jinping, maintaining close communication and jointly steering the continuous development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.The Mongolia-China relationship has become a model for inter-state relations in the region. The two sides have always understood and trusted each other, respected each other’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity while deepening mutually beneficial cooperation across various sectors, and the bilateral trade is expected to reach $20 billion this year. China will forever be a good neighbor to Mongolia, and developing friendly relations with China is a top priority of Mongolia’s foreign policy. The Mongolian side understands and respects China’s positions and concerns. Mongolia is firmly committed to the one-China principle, regarding Taiwan as an inalienable part of China’s territory, and opposes any form of “Taiwan independence” activity. It also considers matters related to Hong Kong, Xizang and Xinjiang as China’s internal affairs, and will not do anything that harms China’s interests, regardless of its relations with other countries. The vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity and the four major global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping have played a vital role in safeguarding world peace and stability, serving the interests of people around the globe. Mongolia actively supports these major concepts and initiatives put forward by President Xi, and stands ready to strengthen cooperation with China in regional and international affairs to jointly implement them.

Wang Yi conveyed President Xi Jinping’s cordial greetings to Khurelsukh Ukhnaa. Wang Yi stated that China and Mongolia, linked by mountains and rivers and sharing a common future, are permanent neighbors and comprehensive strategic partners. Under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, China-Mongolia relations have maintained an overall positive momentum. The two sides agreed to work towards building a China-Mongolia community with a shared future characterized by peaceful coexistence, mutual assistance, and win-win cooperation. China stands ready to actively explore ways with Mongolia to translate this consensus into concrete policies and practical measures. Both sides should strengthen strategic mutual trust, deepen pragmatic cooperation, consolidate the foundation of friendship, achieve common development and prosperity, and work hand in hand towards modernization.

Wang Yi stated that China’s policy towards Mongolia maintains stability and continuity. China has always put China-Mongolia relations at an important place in its neighborhood diplomacy, and it has both the will and the capability to be a neighbor that Mongolia can rely on, a trustworthy friend, and a partner in accelerating its development. China respects Mongolia’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the development path that Mongolia has chosen for itself. A close neighbor is better than a distant relative. China appreciates Mongolia’s decision to make developing ties with China the top priority of its foreign policy, which fully serves the fundamental interests of the Mongolian state and its people. China stands ready to work with Mongolia to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, align development strategies, tap into the full potential of bilateral cooperation, advance existing collaboration in areas such as connectivity, energy and mineral resources, trade and investment, and create new growth drivers for cooperation in key minerals, green development, the digital economy, and other emerging fields. Furthermore, China is willing to strengthen solidarity and coordination with Mongolia on multilateral platforms such as the trilateral cooperation among China, Russia and Mongolia and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Together with other Global South countries, the two sides strive for self-strengthening through unity and promote the building of a more just and equitable global governance system.
