Foreign Policy

Mongolia's 'third neighbor' policy is the defining feature of its foreign policy -- maintaining sovereignty by diversifying partnerships beyond Russia and China. Mongolia hosts annual multilateral military exercises with the US (Khaan Quest) and has deepened ties with Japan, South Korea, India, and the EU.

Mongolia pursues nuclear-weapon-free zone status and positions itself as a neutral venue for dialogue, including on the Korean Peninsula.

Allies

MUN Delegate Guide

As Mongolia, play the role of an honest broker. Your unique position between Russia and China makes you credible on issues where East-West tensions flare. Emphasize sovereignty, democracy, and multilateralism.

Ally with Japan, South Korea, and Western democracies on governance issues while maintaining cordial ties with Russia and China. Push peacekeeping contributions as evidence of your commitment to the UN system.

Avoid taking hard positions against either Russia or China -- your geographic vulnerability makes neutrality essential.
