On 16 October 2023, a special ceremony at the Natural History Museum of Mongolia marked the unveiling of a postage stamp commemorating the 50th anniversary of Mongolia’s membership in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Mr. Ankhbayar Nyamdorj, State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mongolia, and Mr. Vinod Ahuja, Country Representative of the FAO to Mongolia, signed and sealed the first postmarks.

Over the past 50 years, FAO’s pivotal role in Mongolia is underscored by the successful implementation of over 200 projects and programs, contributing significantly to the country’s social and economic development goals.

Mongolia became a member of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1973.
