An article from the United Nations University<\/a><\/p>\n

On 3 March 2025, UNU, in partnership with the Embassy of Mongolia in Japan, will co-host the symposium \u201cWomen, Peace and Security: Mongolia, a Feminist-oriented Foreign Policy\u201d. This event will be held from 09:30\u201312:00 in the 2F Reception Hall at UNU Headquarters (Tokyo).<\/p>\n

Under Foreign Minister Battsetseg Batmunkh, Mongolia has increasingly championed women\u2019s issues in its diplomacy and foreign relations. In June 2022, Mongolia hosted the international conference on \u201cStrengthening the Role of Women in Peacekeeping,\u201d welcoming female peacekeepers from over 30 countries.<\/p>\n

In June 2023, Mongolia hosted a historic Meeting of Female Foreign Ministers in Ulaanbaatar. The first of its kind in Asia, the meeting gathered female ministers from France, Germany, Indonesia, Liechtenstein, Mongolia, and South Africa to discuss feminist foreign policy. The meeting produced the “Ulaanbaatar Declaration” to enhance women’s leadership and participation in addressing global challenges.<\/p>\n

The Declaration included: \u201cWe note with deep concern the adverse impact of war, its humanitarian consequences for women and children, and for global food security, and urge all UN member states to cooperate in the spirit of solidarity and to support the UN Secretary-General in his efforts to address these impacts\u201d. The Declaration reflects the strong focus of feminist-oriented foreign policy on cooperation and the need for creating an ecosystem for coordinated actions between nations rather than individual state actors pursuing narrow self-interest.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Mongolia hosted the first World Women\u2019s Forum, “Towards a Green Future”, which further built on the Ulaanbaatar Declaration.<\/p>\n

This symposium at UNU will include a keynote speech by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mongolia\u00a0Battsetseg Batmunkh\u00a0(to be confirmed), followed by a panel discussion on the integration of feminist principles into foreign policy, an audience question and answer session, and informal discussions and networking opportunities. The symposium will explore questions such as: What are the key principles of Mongolia\u2019s feminist foreign policy? What are the roles of international actors, including the United Nations, in prioritizing women, peace and security issues? Can feminist foreign policy create an effective framework for achieving sustainable development?<\/p>\n
