UlAN BATOR, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- Leaders of Mongolia and South Korea on Monday agreed to make more efforts to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries, the Mongolian government press office said.
Mongolian Prime Minister Ukhnaa Hurelsukh and South Korean President Moon Jae-in reached the consensus during their talks at the South Korean presidential office Cheong Wa Dae.
During the talks, the two sides also agreed to make joint efforts to peacefully resolve the nuclear issue in the Korean Peninsula and establish peace there.
Hurelsukh is on an official visit to South Korea from Jan. 15 to 17 at an invitation of his South Korean counterpart Lee Nak-yeon. This is Khurelsukh's first overseas trip since he took office in last October.
Relations between Mongolia and South Korea have steadily progressed since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1990.
