Party General Secretary and State President To Lam arrives at Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar on September 30, 2024.

The Vietnamese leader was greeted at the airport by Mongolian Minister of Foreign Affairs Batmunkh Battsetseg, Mongolian Ambassador to Vietnam Jigjee Sereejav, and representatives of the Vietnamese Embassy in Mongolia.

Mr. Lam and senior leaders of Mongolia are scheduled to discuss major orientations and solutions to further strengthen bilateral political trust and cooperation in politics, diplomacy, economy, trade, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges. Mongolia was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam and Vietnam was the first Southeast Asian country with which Mongolia established diplomatic relations.

Over the years, bilateral cooperation has strengthened in all fields. Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh paid a state visit to Vietnam in November last year. Two-way trade increased from 6 million USD in 2008 to more than 65 million USD in the first seven months of 2024.

After Mongolia, Party leader and President To Lam will pay a state visit to Ireland, attend the 19th Francophonie Summit, and make an official visit to France.
