GREETING MESSAGE
I extend my warm New Year’s greetings to you and wish you great success, new achievements, and the best ideas in all your endeavors. For me, the newly beginning year 2026 will be a year filled with many meaningful occasions and good fortune.
One of the greatest undertakings in which I have taken part—the 45th anniversary of the Soviet-Mongolian joint spaceflight—will be commemorated this year. Mongolia’s active participation in the International Intercosmos Program led to this historic joint spaceflight. Our citizens know well that this mission not only became a real milestone for Mongolia’s science and space research, but also significantly enhanced our country’s international reputation.
With the aim of further strengthening Mongolia’s international standing and increasing our participation in the field of space research, we are preparing to hold an international scientific conference entitled “Space Cooperation”, jointly organized with international space research organizations, on March 22 of this year in Ulaanbaatar.
In addition to many reputable organizations from abroad, we have also sent invitations to cosmonauts from the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan, to Phạm Tuân, the first Asian cosmonaut from Vietnam, and to Yang Liwei, the first astronaut of the People’s Republic of China.
We warmly invite all domestic and international organizations and individuals who are interested in the achievements of human spaceflight and space research to actively participate in this conference.
MONGOLIA’S COSMONAUT
