HAGEL: IT IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR COUNTRIES TO KEEP FRIENDLY COOPERATION

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Mongolia and the United States of America (USA) should have friendly cooperation in order to maintain the policy on a rebalance in Asia-Pacific region. The US Secretary of Defense Mr Chuck Hagel said it during a press conference on his visit’s result on Thursday. During the conference, the Mongolian Minister of Defense D.Bat-Erdene emphasized that the visit of Mr Hagel has brought the bilateral cooperation into a new volume. Mongolia is adhering to a policy to take part in international activities as much as possible instead of passively observing them, Mr Bat-Erdene said. In turn, Mr Hagel said Mongolia is a valuable partner of the USA. “Mongolia serves as a stabilizing influence in Asia and is seeking to modernize its military in a transparent fashion," he said, adding that the Pentagon supports the Mongolian Armed forces' "continuing efforts to modernize and be able to operate with other military and partners."
