ULAN-UDE (Sputnik) - The Mongolian Air Force has arrived in Russia for the first time to participate in the joint Russian-Mongolian Selenga-2025 military drills, the Russian Eastern Military District (EMD) said on Wednesday.
"The Mongolian Air Force has arrived in the [Russian] Republic of Buryatia. For the first time, they will participate in the joint Russian-Mongolian Selenga-2025 military exercise on the Russian soil," the statement said.
The aircraft arrived at one of the airfields in Buryatia, and the Mongolian air force personnel were welcomed by Colonel Ivan Tarayev, assistant to the EMD Commander for International Cooperation, the statement read.
"The participation of our Mongolian colleagues in the joint exercises is a significant event that demonstrates the high level of trust and partnership between our countries. I am confident that these exercises will be an important step in strengthening the security of our states and will serve as an example of effective international cooperation," Tarayev was quoted by the EMD as saying.
