Mongolia is a key partner in the New Northern Policy that the Moon administration has been focusing on. It is also a major participant in the 'Northeast Asia Disease Control and Health Cooperation Mechanism' led by our government.

The Blue House stated, "We are closely cooperating, including launching a pilot project for joint stockpiling of medical supplies between the two countries," and added, "This will be an important milestone in solidifying our New Northern diplomacy."

Meanwhile, President Khurelsukh visited South Korea in January 2018 as the Prime Minister of Mongolia and met with President Moon. At that time, President Moon praised Mongolia, which maintains diplomatic relations with both North and South Korea, for actively seeking a role in peace on the Korean Peninsula.
