On the morning of September 2, 2025, President Xi Jinping met at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing with Mongolian President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, who is in China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2025 and the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

President Xi noted that China and Mongolia, as friendly neighbors connected by mountains and rivers, are enjoying ever deepening exchanges and cooperation across various fields, with multiple key projects making positive progress. The two sides should be guided by the vision of building a China-Mongolia community with a shared future, consolidate strategic mutual trust, deepen development integration, and bring the two peoples closer, so as to inject sustained momentum into their comprehensive strategic partnership.

President Xi stressed that no matter how the international landscape may evolve, China will remain a trustworthy and reliable partner for Mongolia. The two sides should carefully safeguard the political foundation of bilateral relations, better synergize development strategies, and work together to advance our respective modernization endeavors. China proposed the Global Governance Initiative (GGI) to better address global challenges, and is ready to work with Mongolia to implement this initiative to tackle governance deficits.

President Khurelsukh said that it is a priority of Mongolia’s foreign policy to maintain permanent good-neighborly friendship and pursue sustainable, mutually beneficial cooperation with China. Mongolia highly commends China’s commitment to the principle of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness in pursuing its neighborhood diplomacy. Mongolia will continue to uphold the one-China principle, and firmly support China’s positions on issues related to Taiwan, Xizang, Xinjiang, and Hong Kong. Mongolia looks forward to tapping into the potential of bilateral economic and trade cooperation, enhancing connectivity, promoting mutually beneficial cooperation, and delivering an even more fruitful bilateral relationship. The GGI proposed by President Xi Jinping advocates for a U.N.-centered international governance system that ensures equal participation of all developing countries. Mongolia warmly applauds this initiative, and is ready to work with China to provide mutual support and pursue close cooperation on the global stage to safeguard the common interests of developing countries.

The two sides signed multiple bilateral cooperation agreements in areas such as customs, metrology, and media.
