Mongolia boosts 'third neighbor' policy - China.org.cn: "Mongolia's entry to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe is its latest effort to implement the "third neighbor" policy, which is to strengthen cooperation with Western countries and major international bodies other than its neighbors China and Russia, analysts said.
Mongolia on Wednesday was ratified to become the 57th member of the world's largest regional security organization. It has been the Vienna-based OSCE's Asian partner since 2004.
Analysts said developing ties with the West has been the priority of Ulan Bator's diplomacy since the end of the Cold War due to the landlocked country's concerns about the influence of neighboring powers and the West's increasing attention to the Asia-Pacific region."
