Mongolian president visits Soltanieh Dome in Zanjan

TEHRAN -- President of Mongolia Elbegdorj Tsakhia, who has traveled to Iran to attend the 16th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit, visited the Soltanieh Dome in Zanjan Province on Wednesday.

The Soltanieh, the mausoleum of Oljaitu, is an Islamic monument that was constructed from 1302 to 1312 in the city of Soltanieh, the capital of the Ilkhanids, a Mongol dynasty that ruled in Iran from 1256 to 1353.

The dome was registered on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2005.

Tsakhia will be participating in the summit of NAM heads of state or government, which starts today in Tehran and ends on Friday.
