Myanmar, Mongolia sign mutual visa exemption agreement

Myanmar and Mongolia Monday signed an agreement on mutual visa exemption for holders of diplomatic and special passports, state radio and TV reported.

The signing followed talks between Myanmar President U Thein Sein and his visiting Mongolian counterpart Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj in Nay Pyi Taw.

Their talks covered promotion of relations between the two countries, cooperation in regional and international relations, exchange of visit of officials at high level, promotion of people-to-people access and ASEAN-Mongolia relations.

Besides that, the talks also touched on cooperation in the sectors of tourism and mining.

Moreover, the two leaders exchanged view on Mongolia's democratic transition since 1990.

Elbegdorj, who arrived Nay Pyi Taw earlier Monday, is the first Mongolian leader paying a state visit to Myanmar ever since the two countries established diplomatic ties in 1956.

Elbegdorj is expected to also meet opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi in the capital who last visited Mongolia in April and attended the ministerial meeting of the Communities of Democracy in Ulaanbaatar.
