Several dozen delegates from Mongolia met with delegates from the United States at the recent Fifth U.S.-Mongolia Business Forum in Orlando to discuss how the two countries can better work together. Several speakers urged more U.S. companies to invest in Mongolia.

In a message, Mongolian Ambassador to the US Kh. Bekhbat said funds generated by foreign investment in Mongolia’s mineral resources are helping the country provide jobs, and improve its education and health care services. Mongolia would also like to see U.S. investment and participation in the agriculture sector, expected to play an increasingly important part in the economy, Bekhbat said.
