In a move blending literature and diplomacy, Cyrillic Mongolian editions of two books by Chinese leader Xi Jinping debuted in Ulan Bator this week. 📚 The launch of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China (Vol. II) and Xi Jinping's Excerpts on Poverty Alleviation coincides with the 75th anniversary of China-Mongolia diplomatic ties – and sparks fresh dialogue on governance strategies.
Over 300 officials, scholars, and diplomats gathered for the event, where Mongolia's State Great Hural deputy chair Khurelbaatar Bulgantuya praised China's 'remarkable poverty reduction achievements.' 🏛️ Chinese Ambassador Shen Minjuan highlighted shared development goals, calling the books a 'bridge for mutual inspiration.'
Why does this matter? 💡 As digital natives crave authentic cross-border insights, these translations offer Mongolia's 3.2 million people direct access to China's policy frameworks. The Governance series, now in 42 languages, has become a surprise international bestseller – think of it as the Atomic Habits of statecraft.
Mongolia's culture ministry official Adiyasuren Davaajargal noted the timing: 'Our cooperation grows like the Gobi's rare rainfall – sudden, vital, and transformative.' 🌱 With joint publishing between China's Foreign Languages Press and Mongolia's Admon Publishing House, this literary exchange could reshape how neighboring nations share policy wisdom.
