NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, will undertake an official visit to Mongolia and the Republic of Korea from June 22 to 25, aimed at strengthening India’s bilateral partnerships and advancing cooperation across strategic, economic and technological sectors.
Announcing the visit, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement said that Jaishankar will visit Mongolia on June 22 and 23 before travelling to South Korea on June 24 and 25.
“EAM will visit Mongolia on 22 and 23 June 2026. During the visit, EAM will meet with the Mongolian leadership and hold discussions with his counterpart Foreign Minister B Battsetseg,” the ministry said.

Mongolia opened its embassy in New Delhi the following year, while India established its resident mission in Ulaanbaatar in 1971, paving the way for the steady expansion of bilateral cooperation across political, economic and cultural spheres.
