Mongolia National Day and 100th Anniversary

Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

On behalf of the United States, I extend my best wishes to the people of Mongolia on the 100^th anniversary of Mongolia’s independence and the start of the 2021 Naadam festival.

As strategic partners and third neighbors, the United States and Mongolia enjoy a strong partnership bound by shared democratic values, respect for human rights, and the rule of law.

Even as this year’s celebrations are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the people of the United States stand together with the Mongolian people in support of your independence, sovereignty, and traditional culture.

May the people of Mongolia enjoy a wonderful celebration!
