REMARKS BY THE CHIEF OF STAFF AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE BATTLES OF KHALKHIN GOL-80
“Ladies and Gentlemen!
Honored guests, delegates, and researchers!
On behalf of the President of Mongolia and Commander-in-Chief of the Mongolian Armed Forces and myself, I have the honor to thank and greet you for attending the scientific conference commemorating 80th anniversary of the Victory of Battles of Khalkhin Gol, which was an historic event to strengthen Mongolia’s independence, territorial integrity and immunity.
Mongolian-Soviet victory in Khalkhin Gol was a noble war for the sake of well-being of humankind, and it strenghtened Mongolian-Soviet independence and sovereignty. We shall not forget the role of the Russian people and the heroic soldiers who sacrificed their lives at the front.
I would like to underline the importance of organizing today’s international conference based on this ideology. One of the goals of today’s conference is to launch research on concrete facts, to have discussion among scientists and experts and to deliver it to public besides being proud of our history of the last 80 years.
Hence, I hope that today’s conference will be fruitful and will solve many emerging issues for researchers.
We shall not forget the role of the Battles of Khalkhin Gol in the late 1930s and its impact in strenghtening the independence and soverignty of the Mongolian People’s Republic. Therefore, efforts from you, scientists and experts, are essential in releasing concrete facts on the events on Khalkhin Gol, promoting it to the public and launching researches.
On behalf of the President of Mongolia and Office of the President, I have the honor to congratulate and bow to the Mongolian and Soviet heroes who defended Mongolia’s independence and sovereignty with their lives and bloods and their families.
Mongolian and Russian troops who never came back from Khalkhin Gol in 1939 will always be memorized in the heart of Mongolians and in Khalkhin Gol.
Merit of troops from all generations who contributed to defend their country is still in the heart of people and is getting celebrated even more. Therefore, our governments were always concerned on honoring and welfares of veterans.
I would like to wish veterans to share their enormous experience with their descendants and be the pillar for the state and the people and wish health, happiness and vivacity. Good luck for the conference.
Thank you for your attention.”
