Mongolia's ex president meets vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar; two leaders cherish democracy, freedom

I have named this magnificent beauty, ‘Tejas’. Thank you, President Khurelsukh. Thank you Mongolia," Singh had tweeted sharing the the pictures of the white horse. Singh had also called on Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh and reviewed the strategic bilateral ties.

“Excellent meeting with the President of Mongolia, H.E. U. Khurelsukh in Ulaanbaatar. Recalled my last meeting with him in 2018, when he was the Prime Minister of the country. We are fully committed to further deepening our multifaceted Strategic  Partnership with Mongolia," he had stated in a tweet.
