On the occasion of the 16th anniversary of Mongolian peacekeepers serving in the United Nations peacekeeping operation, a new hall opened in the Mongolian Military Museum. The opening ceremony of the hall ‘Mongolian soldiers in peacekeeping operation’ took place on January 26.

The hall has been created with the support from the United States Embassy in Mongolia in the scope of the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and the United States.

Mongolia sent two officers as UN Military Observers in 2002 for the first time. Then, in 2003 Mongolia sent whole military unity to participate in the rehabilitation after the Operation Iraqi Freedom. 15 thousand peacekeepers of the Mongolian Armed Forces by double account have participated in the UN peacekeeping operations abroad since the first deployment 16 years ago.

Various exhibits are shown in the hall such as a map on light board depicting Mongolian peacekeepers serving in the world peacekeeping operations, models and series of pictures showing activities of Mongolian peace keepers in the rehabilitation after the Operation Iraqi Freedom and humanitarian activities as well as guns, weapons and a model of guard house.
