President of Mongolia visits Philadelphia

AKIPRESS.COM - city-council-chambers President of Mongolia Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj visited the City Council Chambers of Philadelphia, talking about his commitment to the protection of Mongolia’s democracy, reports CBS Philly.

“Every beat of heart has the sounds of freedom,” Elbegdorj said.

The Philadelphia Governor calls President Elbegdorj a “remarkable leader” who has enhanced Mongolia’s status on the world stage, since it went through its own democratic revolution in 1990.

“You’re situated right between Russia and China, and we all know that must be a real challenge,” the Governor noticed.

Mongolia is a former Soviet satellite that used to be under communist rule, but the Harvard educated 53-year-old president says his vast, rugged country made a peaceful transition to democracy “without shedding a single drop of blood.”

His visit came at the invitation of the Philadelphia Orchestra, which will tour that country as part of its 2017 Asia Tour.

“I’m really happy to call all of you friends of Mongolia. Let’s work together,” Elbegdorj said.
