Last week, the foreign ministers of Mongolia and the Russian Federation met in Moscow – top on the agenda was fixing a date for an official visit by Prime Minister Khurelsukh. The dates scheduled were 23-26 May. The Mongolian premier had been scheduled to participate in the annual  Saint Petersburg Economic Forum which is taking place later this week.

However, the Russians have just announced that they are not ready to receive PM U.Khurelsukh. This announcement clearly raises some questions.

Since becoming prime minister in October, 2017 U.Khurelsukh has visited South Korea and China.
