The Mongolian government signed an intergovernmental agreement with Russia on counter-terrorism cooperation on Wednesday 11 December.

Under the agreement, law enforcement agencies from the two neighbours will closely cooperate to prevent and suppress terrorist activities by sharing information on possible attacks and on suspected terrorists or terrorist groups.

Although there has been no recent history of terrorism in Mongolia, attacks cannot be ruled out.

Mongolia has signed agreements on cooperation in combating terrorism with the Kyrgyz Republic and the Russian Federation, as well as the agreement on cooperation in combating crimes with the People’s Republic of China.
