New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) Mongolian President Tsakhia Elbegdorj comes here Sunday on a four-day state visit — his first overseas trip after assuming office.
Elbegdorj will hold delegation-level talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on a broad array of bilateral and international issues.

He will also visit Agra, Bodh Gaya and Mumbai, the external affairs ministry said here while announcing the visit.

President Pratibha Patil will host a banquet for the president of Mongolia, the land-locked Central Asian country that abandoned Soviet-style one-party state in 1990 and embarked on economic and political reforms.

Mongolia, once the heart of an empire that stretched from Europe to Asia under the 13th century ruler Genghis Khan, is rapidly modernising its economy and opening to the world.

Expanding bilateral trade and investment will be high on the agenda.

Besides senior ministers, a 25-member business delegation is accompanying the president on his first visit to India.

Elbegdorj will make a pitch for attracting Indian investment at an India-Mongolia Business Forum in Mumbai next week.
