Strengthening Ties and Humanitarian Efforts
The visit highlights the strengthening relationship between the Church and Mongolia. Later that day, Ambassador Ulziidelger concluded his time in Utah with a dinner hosted by Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Elder Andersen and the Ambassador have collaborated previously, including at the Washington D.C. Temple's Festival of Lights last December.
A significant outcome of this cooperation has been the distribution of 3,000 Chromebooks to students in rural areas of Mongolia, a project funded by charitable donations from Church members. "It is filling a real need," said Elder Andersen, emphasizing that the Ambassador helped direct the aid to provinces where students lacked the necessary electronic tools for online study.
