The 14th Mongolia Economic Forum began on 8 July 2024, at the State Palace of Mongolia. This year's Forum, themed "Go Mongolia," spanned two days and focus on the country's economic growth and development.

The event opened with the plenary session titled "Regional Development Policy." In his opening remarks, Prime Minister L. Oyun-Erdene emphasized the new government's commitment to restructuring the government, liberalizing energy tariffs, and advancing mega projects. He highlighted an old Mongolian saying, "Mongolians' 'yes' is a promise" assuring foreign investors that Mongolia will uphold its commitments.

Member of Parliament T. Dorjkhand, leader of the HUN Party, outlined the coalition government's priorities:
  1. Establish stable policies to attract investment.
  2. Advance mega projects and implement pragmatic policies within the government while fostering debate in Parliament.

Member of Parliament L. Gantumur, leader of the Democratic Party, acknowledged the challenges faced by Mongolia as a developing country. He stressed the need for enhanced human resources, noting recent nationwide test results indicated significant room for improvement. L. Gantumur is set to become the Minister of Economy and Development.

Prime Minister L. Oyun-Erdene reiterated the government's primary goals of reducing state involvement in business and improving the tax environment. He also promised a structurally eternal coalition government.

During a session moderated by Richard Quest, the Prime Minister was asked to outline the government's commitments for the coming year. He listed the following priorities:
  1. Establish a stable environment for investment.
  2. Improve the business environment by involving more stakeholders.
  3. Enhance Mongolia's reputation as one of the best places to do business.

Attending a panelist at the session on "Regional Development Policy: Investment", Mr. Daniel Mahoney, Chair of EuroChamber Mongolia, addressed the importance of government action in large projects. He cited disputes regarding OT (Oyu Tolgoi) as a reason for officials' hesitance to commit to large-scale projects. Mahoney emphasized that stable government policies are crucial for attracting foreign investment.

History of Mongolian Naadam

The National Festival of Mongolia, celebrated annually on July 11th, 12th, and 13th, is a profound expression of the nation's history, culture, and unity. Symbolizing the sun, moon, and fire—emblems of eternal prosperity—the festival embodies noble existence, harmony, and pride. Tracing its origins to the ancient Huns, this festival has a rich history deeply embedded in Mongolian tradition.

Dating back to the 1st-2nd century BC during the founding of the Hun Dynasty, the festival has long been associated with the unity of tribes and the enhancement of soldiers' skills. Ancient sources mention events such as horse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are seen as precursors to the modern festival's traditions. The Huns organized these events to strengthen the bonds among tribes and improve military prowess, laying the groundwork for what would become a hallmark of Mongolian heritage. Historical records, including the "Mongolian Secret History," note that similar festivities were held in July.

In 1639, the "Danshig Festival" was inaugurated in honor of Saint Zanabazar, the spiritual leader of the Khalkh. Notable victories at this event, such as those of Bokh Lama and Bonkhor Donir's horse, are well-documented. By 1772, the festival at Khentii Mountain had grown into a significant celebration, eventually known as the "Ten Kingdom Festival," and by 1912, it became an annual state event. This celebration continued until the death of Bogd Khan in 1925.

The "People's State Festival" began in 1922, following the establishment of the Mongolian People's Republic. In 1925, a decision was made to combine the two major festivals, setting July 11th as the official date—a tradition that persists to this day. Since 1946, this date has also commemorated the anniversary of the People's Revolution victory.

In 2003, the "National Festival" law was passed, formalizing competitions in traditional wrestling, horse racing, and archery at national, provincial, and local levels. UNESCO recognized the National Day Festival in 2010 by including it in the "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity," acknowledging its centuries-old legacy and officially introducing this Mongolian tradition to the world.
