Official relations
Following the break-up of the former Soviet Union, Mongolia recognized Estonia on August 29, 1991. Both countries established diplomatic relations on October 20, 1991. Estonia is represented in Mongolia through its embassy in Beijing (China). Mongolia is represented in Estonia through its embassy in Warsaw (Poland).[1] The Estonian parliament has a parliamentary group, founded May 15, 2003, to discuss relations between the two countries.[2]
In 30 June 2003 Natsagiyn Bagabandi, President of the Republic of Mongolia, on a visit to Estonia, met with Prime Minister Juhan Parts. They agreed to continue working towards improving relations between the two countries,and discussed possibilities for cooperation in the areas of tourism and the economy.[3] On March 26, 2009 Otgon Dambiinyam, the newly-arrived Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Mongolia to the Republic of Estonia, met Toomas Hendrik Ilves, the President of Estonia. They discussed bilateral relations and collaboration in politics, trade, economy, education and cultural spheres.[4]

There is little trade between the two countries. As of 2006, annual exports from Estonia to Mongolia were worth just US$200,000.[5] Estonian experts in e-governance have shared their knowledge with senior officials from the Parliament of Mongolian Republic, representatives of Mongolian media companies and NGOs.[6]
Estonia and Mongolia are among the 13 countries in the world who compete in the Bandy world championships. Bandy is a game similar to ice hockey. In the 2008 championships Estonia beat Mongolia 8-0.[7]
