🇷🇺🇲🇳 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister of Mongolia Gombojav Zandanshatar held a meeting on the sidelines of the X Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok (September 4, 2025)

💬 President Putin: Mr Prime Minister, I am delighted to see you.

Just recently, we met with the President [of Mongolia Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh] in Beijing and discussed trilateral cooperation. Together with the People’s Republic of China we mainly focused on energy issues.

At the same time, I must emphasise that our interaction with Mongolia – our neighbour, friend and strategic partner – has a separate significance for us and remains one of our priorities.

I would also like to once again recall our shared past, which laid a strong foundation for the development of relations between our countries, including our common heroic history. We remember this well.

We are very grateful to you for the warm welcome extended to us during my visit. Our entire delegation remembers it fondly and with appreciation.

📈 It is noteworthy that the overall situation has been developing positively over the past year. Our trade turnover has grown by more than 17%, and we have achieved good results in major, traditional joint projects. Perhaps we will touch on this a little later.

I very much hope that the work of your delegation at the Eastern Economic Forum will also prove fruitful, as it provides opportunities for direct contacts not only with Russian partners, but also with colleagues from other Asia-Pacific countries.

We are very glad to see you. Welcome.
