The President arrived in Delhi on Monday and was accorded a guard of honour and a ceremonial welcome at the Air Force Station Palam. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar called on President Khurelsukh and reviewed our bilateral ties ahead of the Leaders Meeting. This morning, the visiting President paid homage at Rajghat, laying a wreath at the Samadhi of Mahatma Gandhi.

At Hyderabad House, President Khurelsukh held restricted and delegation-level discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The discussions were warm, wide-ranging and forward-looking, covering strategic and development partnerships, cultural ties, trade, education, critical minerals, renewable energy, and people-to-people exchanges. This is their first official meeting, and the leaders developed a close personal rapport during the talks.

In a display of personal connect, the two leaders jointly planted a tree in the name of President Khurelsukh's late mother at Hyderabad House. This special gesture symbolised the common threads between Prime Minister Modi's Ek Ped Ma Ke Naam initiative and President Khurelsukh's One Billion Trees campaign, as well as their shared commitment to environmental sustainability.

The two leaders jointly released commemorative postal stamps marking the 70th anniversary of our diplomatic relations. We also adopted a Joint Statement on strengthening the strategic partnership, charting a shared vision for future engagement that includes resilient supply chains and critical minerals.

Mongolia reiterated its support for India's permanent membership of the UN Security Council and also for India's candidacy as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the 2028-29 term. Mongolia also signed the framework agreement of the International Big Cat Alliance, reflecting our shared commitment to conservation.

While I appreciate the symbolic gesture, I hope there's more focus on actual implementation. Many such initiatives start with fanfare but lack follow-through. Let's ensure these trees actually grow and are maintained properly.

The personal touch of planting in honor of the President's mother makes this so special. In Indian culture, we deeply respect motherhood, and combining that with environmental care is brilliant 🙏

Mongolia supporting India's UNSC bid is the real highlight here! Environmental cooperation is good, but strategic partnerships like this are crucial for India's global position.

Love how this initiative connects with our traditional values of respecting nature. In our villages, we've always planted trees during important occasions. Good to see this tradition being promoted at international level 🌿
