R49352	Mongolia: In Brief	2026-09-16T04:00:00Z	2026-09-19T14:38:01Z	Active	Reports	Maria A. Blackwood		Mongolia is a landlocked, mineral-rich country about the size of Alaska with a population of 3.6 million; it shares borders with two powerful neighbors, Russia and the People’s Republic of China (PRC, or China). Mongolia has long sought to maintain good relations with Russia and China, while pursuing a “third neighbor” policy that emphasizes developing relationships outside of its immediate neighborhood, including with the United States. The United States and Mongolia upgraded their bilateral relationship to a Strategic Partnership in 2019. The Millennium Challenge Corporation has implemented two compacts with Mongolia (2008-2013 and 2021-2026). Mongolia has extensive deposits of minerals including copper, gold, coal, molybdenum, uranium, tin, and tungsten, and extractive industries account for over 90% of Mongolian exports. Mongolia has received international recognition for its peaceful transition to democracy in 1990, but some experts point to corruption and weak governance as chronic issues. This report provides an overview of U.S.-Mongolia relations, Mongolia’s relations with China and Russia, as well as Mongolia’s domestic politics and economy.	https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/PDF/R49352/R49352.2.pdf	https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/HTML/R49352.html
