Speech by Dalrain Davaasambuu, Mongolian Ambassador, House of Commons, Conservative Foreign and Commonwealth Council, London November 5, 2007 Dear MPs, Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is my distinct honour and pleasure to address this esteemed audience
and talk on about Mongolia’s foreign policy. First of all I am
delighted to thank every body who came here today for their interest in
Mongolia and would be happy to know your ideas and comments.
Foreign policy, international relations are very much an essential and
integral part of small Mongolia and its people’s life. We are proud
with the history of my country, last year we celebrated 800 years of
Mongolian statehood, which goes back to the unification of the
Mongolian tribes by Chinggis Khan. I would like to stress only two
important International relations aspects of the Chinggis Khan‘s
political heritage. One is Mongolian people’s identity as a nation. The
Great Khan, together with the Buddhism in the Tibetan-Mongolian
tradition and his achievements has been at the center of Mongolian
national identity, especially in times when Mongolian has some
challenges.
