Mongolia visit underscores strong ties & cooperation with UK
From 3-11 November, Lord Howard led a six-member delegation to Mongolia in a reciprocal visit following the Mongolian delegation to Westminster in February 2016. Both sides shared their enthusiasm at seeing new parliamentarians involved in developing the ties between Mongolia and the UK. Mongolia is one of just six genuine democracies in Asia, a truly remarkable achievement given the fact that until 1990 it was, effectively, ruled for hundreds of years under the strong influence of either China or the Soviet Union.
