When it comes to military diplomacy, Mongolia punches well above its weight. Military diplomacy is the strategic deployment of armed forces to attain diplomatic goals and strengthen international relations. This involves leveraging military capabilities, including defence cooperation, joint military exercises and military exchanges, to enhance a nation's diplomatic influence, establish partnerships and contribute to regional or global stability. Military diplomacy is seen as a crucial component of Mongolia’s “Third Neighbour Policy”. Its Third Neighbour Policy and military diplomacy are a testament to the country’s resilience and its refusal to yield sovereignty.
