Kazakhstan and Mongolia have signed a strategic partnership agreement in Ulaanbaatar, aiming to strengthen ties in trade, transport, agriculture, and tourism, with plans to increase mutual trade from $150 million to $500 million in the near future.
On Tuesday, Kazakhstan and Mongolia signed a joint declaration establishing a strategic partnership as Presidents Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh met in Ulaanbaatar.
