On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my warmest wishes to all those celebrating Tsagaan Sar, the Mongolian Lunar New Year.

The United States is proud of our Strategic Third Neighbor Partnership with Mongolia. We look forward to deepening the relationship between our two countries in the year to come.

Whether you are celebrating in Mongolia, the United States, or elsewhere in the world, we hope the Year of the Fire Horse brings you health, happiness, and prosperity.
