Mongolian Defense Minister N.Enkhbold has participated in the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue, which is the international premier summit on national security, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. The event was held in Singapore on 1-2 June.

It is a unique meeting of defence ministers and army chiefs from over 50 countries, organized first in 2002 at the initiation of the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).  This year, delegates from 27 countries have issues ranging from regional security, economics, investment, infrastructure development, cyber security, and terrorism.

The IISS Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore is the most important regular gathering of defence professionals in the Asia-Pacific region, a vital annual fixture in the diaries of ministers and their civilian and military chiefs-of-staff. Since its launch in 2002 the Dialogue has built confidence and fostered practical security cooperation, by facilitating easy communication and fruitful contact among the region’s most important defense and security policymakers.
