The Premier emphasized that significant progress has been made in strengthening democracy.

He believes that Mongolia, successfully developing a democratic system in the region, will achieve even greater success in the future. Specifically, Blair commended Mongolia for its recent major efforts in fighting corruption and implementing reforms to strengthen the openness of governance and ensure an independent judiciary.
