Australia–Mongolia Relations
Bilateral relations exist between Australia and Mongolia. Diplomatic ties were established in 1972, with ties focusing on education, mining, and developmental assistance. History At the time of Australian federation in 1901, Mongolia (as well as China) was part of the Manchu Qing Empire. The succeeding Republic of China lost effective control of Mongolia in 1921 and an independence referendum was held in 1945. The Republic of China also lost control of mainland China itself around 1949-1950, retreating to Taiwan, but for a time Australia continued to recognise its claim to represent the whole of China and Mongolia. Australia only recognised Mongolia as independent from the Republic of China (Taiwan) in February 1967, despite Taiwanese objections. Mongolia was only the second Communist state Australia had recognised, after the Soviet Union. The two countries established official diplomatic relations on 15 September 1972. Mongolia opened an embassy in Canberra in 2008, while Au ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
