The Ambassador of Canada to Mongolia is the chief diplomatic representative of Canada to Mongolia. Canada is the second largest investor in Mongolia.
Both countries established diplomatic relations on November 30, 1973. Canada has been represented in Mongolia through an embassy since [2008]]. Mongolia has an embassy in Ottawa, and in 2002 opened an Honorary Consulate in Toronto. Though Canada and Mongolia established diplomatic ties in 1973, ad hoc linkages and minor activities occurred between the two countries mainly through the Canada-Mongolia Society, which disbanded in 1980. When Mongolia formed a democratic government in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Canada began to support Mongolia with donor activities through the International Development Research Centre, Canadian International Development Agency and several non-governmental organizations.[1]
There are 20 mining and exploration firms that as of 2008 invested approximately $400 million in Mongolia.[2]
