This presentation, hosted in collaboration with the Forrest Research Foundation, will be an opportunity to hear Mongolia's Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador to Australia, H.E. Mr Davaasuren Damdinsuren give an insight into the landlocked country's peace-loving and multifaceted foreign policy, with a key focus on its approach towards Northeast Asia.
Over 20 years, Mongolia has been firmly committed to supporting UN peacekeeping and has pledged to increase Mongolian female peacekeepers to 15 percent by 2027. The country with an internationally recognized nuclear-weapon free zone status has promoted the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula through its Ulaanbaatar Dialogue that serves as a confidence-building measure to bring together all stakeholders.

The Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA) is an independent, non-profit organisation seeking to promote interest in and understanding of international affairs in Australia.
The WA Branch of the AIIA was founded in 1947 by Professor Fred Alexander of the University of WA, who became its first President. Like the earlier established branches in the other Australian states, the WA Branch was modelled on the British Royal Institute of International Affairs, based at Chatham House in London.
The WA Branch has maintained a steady membership, including many prominent West Australian and national leaders. Successive State Governors have served as the Branch's Official Visitor. The aim of the institute is to be an independent and non-political body that facilitates and encourages the study and debate of international questions.
Membership fees includes a subscription to The Australian Journal of International Affairs as well as two tickets at the member price to each of our our monthly meetings where you will learn about developments in international affairs of concern to the people of Western Australia. We rely on membership contributions and sponsorship of special events to keep our association running: we receive no core funding from government.
