On 15th June, Mr. President and Ms Bolormaa arrived in Washington D.C. At first, they visited Arlington National Cemetery and put flowers on the grave of a soldier.
The dedication of Arlington as a National Cemetery meant that the land would forever be used as a public monument to lives sacrificed for the national good.
While this area was initially endowed with little prestige, as time passed it came to assume the characteristics of a holy place; Americans went there to express their allegiance to dead individuals, groups, or simply the more general concepts of patriotism or honorable military service.
In Washington D.C, the President held negotiations and expanded talks with his counterpart Barack Obama. Ts.Elbegdorj also met with Thomas J. Donohue, the president and CEO of the United States Chamber of Commerce, and authorities of the U.S Congress.

Also on 16th June, Foreign Policy and Global Economy and Development at Brookings hosted the President of Mongolia, where discussion topics included the concept of the “third neighbour” and Mongolia’s foreign policies toward the larger Northeast Asia region, its relations with neighbours China and Russia, and its approach toward multilateral engagement.
Also, he met with Forbes delegations and attended Foreign Affairs’ roundtable conference of United States.
