The U.S. Department of
Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Civil Aviation
Authority of Mongolia intend to develop civil aeronautics and air commerce
safety through technical assistance and training through a Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) signed during President Ts. Elbegdoej’s visit. This formal
bilateral relationship, the first of its kind between the two countries, is an
opportunity to enhance safety and improve system capacity in Mongolia.

Aviation is an important
element of the Government of Mongolia’s efforts to broaden ties within the
region and around the world for the landlocked country.  The FAA may provide technical and managerial
expertise to assist Mongolia in developing, modernizing, operating and
maintaining its civil aviation infrastructure, standards, procedures, policies,
training and equipment, as well as provide training to personnel from Mongolia
under the MOA.
