Mongolia Pivot to Central Asia?

Mongolia has reached a critical juncture and is undergoing a process of foreign policy modernization. The burgeoning relations between Ulaanbaatar and Central Asian states signifies a strategic initiative aimed at balancing its partnerships with Russia and China. Since 2020, Mongolia has augmented its diplomatic activities with Central Asian countries, as evidenced by the Mongolian President's visit to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan in 2024. Notwithstanding the prevailing positive development dynamics, economic relations between Mongolia and Central Asia remain modest but growing, particularly in trade with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, where exports have increased significantly.
