Myanmar president to visit Mongolia

Myanmar President U Thein Sein will pay an official visit to Mongolia soon, said an official announcement Thursday without giving specific date of his visit.

U Thein Sein's upcoming Mongolia trip will be a reciprocal one to Myanmar by his Mongolian counterpart Tsakhia Elbegdorj in November 2013.

Then first visit to Myanmar by a head of state of Mongolia has marked the opening of a new chapter in Myanmar-Mongolia relations.

Both sides vowed to expand mutually beneficial cooperation in the fields of trade, mining, tourist, culture and economic sectors.

During Elbegdorj's Nay Pyi Taw visit, Myanmar and Mongolia signed an agreement on mutual visa exemption for holders of diplomatic and special passports of the two countries.

The two countries established diplomatic ties in 1956. However, there were few exchanges between the two countries.

Mongolian Embassy to Myanmar is stationed in Vientiane, Lao. Endi
