Elbegdorj Tsakhia: Sandwiched Between Russia and China

Endgame with Gita Wirjawan

No country is more fitting to discuss peace, diplomacy, and multilateralism than Mongolia. Despite being geographically and ideologically positioned between Russia and China, Mongolia has the means to stand up for itself and determine its own fate. Endgame proudly presents Mongolia’s former President and Prime Minister, Elbegdorj Tsakhia. He was a central figure in the Mongolian Revolution of 1990—a revolution that transformed the country from communism to democracy without breaking a single window or shedding a single drop of blood. In this conversation, President Elbegdorj and Gita cover a wide range of topics: how Mongolia maintains peace with its neighbors, why he believes that "war is no longer a tool to solve problems between countries," and the three main reasons behind the current global turmoil. #Endgame #GitaWirjawan #ElbegdorjTsakhia ---------------------- Thank you to The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School for providing support for this episode.
