The Union cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Union Public Services Commission (UPSC) and Civil Service Council of Mongolia (CSCM).
“The MoU will strengthen the existing relationship between CSCM and UPSC. It will facilitate sharing of experience and expertise of both the parties in the area of recruitment,” said a government release.
Located between Russia to the north and China to the south, Mongolia is one of the least populated countries in the world. The land-locked country has a population of less than three million and a GDP of $39.73 billion(2017 est.)
India-Mongolia Relations
Though India and Mongolia have interacted since antiquity through the vehicle of Buddhism throughout history, the relations between the two countries have achieved greater depth under the current government.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the first Indian head of government to visit Mongolia in 2015. For Mongolians, India is one of the counter-weights to their neighbours, a “spiritual neighbour”, a declared third neighbour and strategic partner and centre for pilgrimage.
While Mongolia has publicly reiterated its support for India’s membership to the permanent seat of expanded UNSC, India has announced a credit line of US$1 billion for infrastructure sector in the country.
