President of Mongolia, U.Khurelsukh stated his intention to visit Russia with an official visit in December.

“I plan to visit the Russian Federation with an official visit in December,” the Mongolian leader told TASS First Deputy Director General Mikhail Gusman Thursday. “I am very happy that our interview precedes this trip and that Russian citizens will be able to watch it.”

He noted that he is the first president of Mongolia, elected for a six-year term, after the Mongolian Constitution was amended in 2019.

“I assumed office 4 months ago. I’m only beginning my service, in other words,” he said.

On June 9, Presidential elections took place in Mongolia, with a 69% turnout. Khurelsukh won with 67% of votes. Under the current Constitution, a president serves for six years without a re-election option.
