“I wish to welcome the visit of Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj to Philadelphia on September 23, 2016. This is a truly historic occasion. President Elbegdorj's visit marks the beginning of an important chapter in the relationship between our two countries and between the people of Pennsylvania and the people of Mongolia. Despite the geographic distance between our countries, we have in common the pursuit of a healthy democratic system of governance and of stability and economic prosperity in the region. I have no doubt that, during his visit, President Elbegdorj will be impressed with the city of Philadelphia, the musical talent of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the scholarship at the University of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia is a truly global city, and the people of Philadelphia are excellent cultural ambassadors. I am pleased to share with my colleagues that, in 2017, the Philadelphia Orchestra plans to embark on its tour of Asia, which will include an unprecedented visit to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. I want to convey my gratitude and appreciation for the Philadelphia Orchestra, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphians who are making this important visit possible. I want to express my best wishes to President Elbegdorj, Foreign Minister Tsend Munkh-Orgil, Ambassador Bulgaa Altangerel, and the rest of the delegation for a successful and productive visit to Philadelphia. ____________________”
