Ulaanbaatar,
April 10, 2026 /MONTSAME/. Prime
Minister Uchral Nyam-Osor received Ambassador of the Russian Federation to
Mongolia Evsikov Alexey Nikolaevich.
The Prime
Minister expressed appreciation for congratulatory messages sent by Russian
Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Chairman of the United Russia party Dmitry Medvedev on his appointment, and reaffirmed the Mongolian government’s
commitment to further expanding the comprehensive strategic partnership between
Mongolia and Russia.
The
sides discussed cooperation in the fuel and energy sector. In particular, the
supplementary protocol to the intergovernmental agreement on the supply of
aviation fuel to Mongolia has been reviewed and supported by the Standing
Committees on Security and Foreign Policy, Budget, and Economy of the State
Great Khural. Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources Damdinnyam Gongor is
expected to sign the protocol in Moscow in the near future.
The
prime minister noted that the current situation in the Middle East is causing
instability in global energy markets and driving a sharp increase in petroleum
product prices. This is beginning to pose challenges to Mongolia’s transport,
mining and agriculture sectors. As mining activity picks up and spring planting
begins, Mongolia has expressed interest in purchasing petroleum products,
including diesel fuel, under preferential terms for a period of no less than
six months. He also noted that the government has begun budget-funded preparatory
work to build infrastructure for state petroleum reserves.
The Prime
Minister further requested support to ensure stable and uninterrupted supplies
of ammonia in aqueous solution, a key input for Mongolia’s agriculture and
mining sectors, and highlighted the possibility of concluding a dedicated
agreement on the matter.
Ambassador
Evsikov thanked Prime Minister Uchral for his attention to Mongolia–Russia
relations and noted the significance of his previous official visit to Russia
as speaker of parliament. The
ambassador said he would convey the issues raised to relevant Russian
authorities. The two sides also exchanged views on cooperation in food and
agriculture, tourism, education, culture, sports, and humanitarian fields,
within the framework of the 105th anniversary of diplomatic relations between
the two countries, according to the Press and Public Relations Department of
the Government.
