The nations of Mexico and Mongolia established diplomatic relations in 1975.[1] Both nations are members of the Forum of East Asia–Latin America Cooperation and the United Nations.

## History

[edit]

On 24 September 1975, Mexico and Mongolia established diplomatic relations.[1] Initially, relations between both nations were conducted via multilateral forums such as at the United Nations. In October 2001, Mexican President Vicente Fox paid an official visit to Mongolia where he met with Mongolian President Natsagiin Bagabandi. During the visit, both nations signed two bilateral agreements and discussed an expansion of bilateral cooperation.[2]

In May 2007, Mongolian Foreign Viceminister Bekhbat Khasbazaryn paid a visit to Mexico where he mentioned Mongolia's interest in Mexican investors taking advantage of the opportunities offered by Mongolia. He also stressed the need to explore new schemes aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation in the trade and investment sectors, especially mining.[3] In September 2016, Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj arrived to Mexico on a private visit where he toured the cultural ruins of Teotihuacan and met with the President of the Mexico-Mongolia Friendship Council.[4]

In January 2011, a delegation from Mexico, led by Senator Carlos Jiménez Macías assisted the Asia Pacific Parliamentary Forum being held in Ulaanbaatar. During the visit, the Mexican delegation met with Chairman of the State Great Khural, Damdiny Demberel where they discussed several bilateral topics.[5] In 2015, both nations celebrated 40 years of diplomatic relations.[6]

In April 2023, both nations held their first meeting of bilateral political consultation.[7]
