[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 10th, President Moon Jae-in will hold a virtual summit with the President of Mongolia to discuss bilateral relations as well as regional and international affairs.

Park Kyung-mi, the Blue House spokesperson, stated in a briefing on the 7th, "President Moon will hold a Korea-Mongolia virtual summit with President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh of Mongolia on the 10th to discuss ways to enhance cooperation related to bilateral relations and regional and international affairs."

This summit is the first Korea-Mongolia summit since President Khurelsukh was elected in June and the second meeting since his visit to Korea in January 2018 during his tenure as Prime Minister.

The Blue House said, "Mongolia has been a key partner in the New Northern Policy, which our government has been focusing on," adding, "The two leaders will broadly discuss mutual interests such as COVID-19 response, practical cooperation, and cooperation on the Korean Peninsula and international stage," highlighting the significance of this summit.

In particular, Mongolia is a major participant in the 'Northeast Asia Disease Control and Health Cooperation' initiative led by our government, and last month, a pilot project for joint medical supplies stockpiling between the two countries was launched. The Blue House stated, "This summit will be an opportunity to elevate Korea-Mongolia relations across all fields to a higher level and will serve as an important milestone in solidifying our New Northern diplomacy."
