What happened in Nepal is a thunderous wake-up call to the world.
A collapsing Himalayan glacier unleashed a devastating wall of water, rock and mud, taking lives, destroying communities and reminding us of a simple truth: when nature is in danger, humanity is in danger.
Our thoughts are with the people of Nepal and all those affected by this tragedy.
At this very moment, Mongolia has just hosted a historic UNCCD COP17 under the banner “Restoring Land. Restoring Hope.” For nearly two weeks, the world came to Mongolia—governments, scientists, businesses, civil society, Indigenous Peoples, pastoralists and young people—to speak openly and frankly about the future of our land and our planet.
The timing could not be more powerful.
Nepal reminds us of the cost of inaction. Mongolia reminds us that cooperation and action are still possible.
Nature does not negotiate with us. It does not recognize borders, politics or ideology. What happens to a glacier in the Himalayas, a forest in the Amazon, or grasslands on the Mongolian steppe ultimately affects us all.
COP17 must not end with the closing ceremony. It must be a beginning.
Restore the land. Protect nature. Protect people. Restore hope.
A heartfelt greeting to President Lee Jae Myung. Mongolia and the Republic of Korea have been close friends for many years. May this state visit deepen our friendship, bring people closer together, and open new doors to peace and shared success. Welcome to Mongolia under the Eternal Blue Sky. 🇲🇳🇰🇷
Happy Birthday, President George W. Bush.
You are the only U.S. President to visit Mongolia. Our people will never forget it.
You have a big heart. You believe in freedom. You stand with those who fight for it.
Wishing you good health, joy, and many happy years ahead.
Happy Birthday again—from the land of the eternal blue sky, where freedom has many friends. @TheBushCenter@USNatArchives
Great to see the successful conclusion of the 11th Ulaanbaatar Dialogue on Northeast Asian Security (UBD 2026). Mongolia’s leading security forum continues to promote dialogue, trust, and peaceful cooperation across Northeast Asia.
