Mongolia Italy Ties took the spotlight as President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa left Mongolia for a State Visit to Italy from December 1 to 3, 2025. The visit, at the invitation of Italian President Sergio Mattarella, marks the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations. Mongolia Italy Ties are expected to grow through high-level talks and several agreements.
During the visit, President Khurelsukh and President Mattarella will hold personal and official discussions to advance bilateral cooperation. Lorenzo Fontana, President of Italy’s Chamber of Deputies, will also meet President Khurelsukh, underscoring parliamentary collaboration.
Both governments plan to sign more than ten agreements covering culture, education, science, mineral resources, infrastructure, civil protection, local development, sports, tourism, and public media. These agreements aim to strengthen Mongolia Italy Ties and foster long-term cooperation.
To celebrate the 55th anniversary, the Morin Khuur Ensemble of the Mongolian State Philharmonic will perform in Rome, highlighting Mongolia’s cultural heritage. Additionally, a Mongolia-Italy business forum will bring together enterprises to explore trade, investment, and partnership opportunities.
Previous visits by Mongolian Presidents to Italy include President Bagabandi Natsag in 2000 and President Elbegdorj Tsakhia in 2011. These earlier visits laid the foundation for the current expanded collaboration that continues to strengthen Mongolia Italy Ties.
Diplomatic relations between the two nations began on June 29, 1970. Mongolia opened its Embassy in Rome in October 2011, while Italy opened its Embassy in Ulaanbaatar in July 2016. Since then, both countries have actively pursued collaboration across multiple sectors.
Experts highlight that the 2025 visit represents a major milestone for Mongolia Italy Ties. They say the trip will boost cultural exchange, commercial growth, and technological cooperation.
Overall, the State Visit showcases the importance of diplomacy, economic engagement, and cultural collaboration in strengthening Mongolia Italy Ties and setting a framework for future development.
