Mongolian president to visit Myanmar

Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj will pay a state visit to Myanmar soon, according to an official announcement Friday. Elbegdorj's visit will be made at the invitation of Myanmar President U Thein Sein but no specific date of his visit was given in the announcement. There are few links between Myanmar and Mongolia despite establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Mongolian Embassy in Myanmar is stationed in Vientiane, Laos. In April this year, at the invitation of the Mongolian president, Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi paid an eight-day visit to Mongolia and attended the ministerial meeting of the Communities of Democracy in Ulaanbaatar. Together with Elbegdorj, Aung San Suu Kyi, chairperson of the National League for Democracy (NLD) and chairperson of the Committee for Rule of Law and Tranquility of the Lower House, delivered a joint speech during her visit.
