Abstract

The main purpose of foreign policy of a country is to conduct foreign relations to the best possible advantage to serve its national interests. Democratic reforms and economic restructuring following the Soviet collapse provided the best ever opportunity for Mongolia to adopt its own “Multi-Pillar” foreign policy in 1994, thus safeguarding the country’s security and independent existence in the multi-polar world. The impact of foreign policy on the two geographic neighbours was that it articulated a new strategy to balance Mongolia’s relations with Russia and China that is known as the “third neighbour” policy. In other words, in a unipolar world, the multi-pillar policy or for that matter the ‘third neighbor’ policy should aim at ensuring security, both economic and strategic, by trying to overcome related challenges. So far Mongolia’s delicate balancing act has worked through the “third neighbor” approach which appears to be a viable but indeed a deft diplomacy
