AUSTRALIA & MONGOLIA
People-to-people links between Australia and Mongolia continue to grow. Since 1993, over 530 Australian scholarships have been provided to Mongolians to study in Australia. This has created a vibrant alumni network, affectionately known as ‘the Mozzies’, many of whom have become influential Mongolian parliamentarians, officials and business people.
