He shared the measures being taken in Ulaanbaatar to minimize problems with air pollution and traffic congestion.

The ambassador confirmed Australia's commitment to supporting the capital of Mongolia and expressed readiness to cooperate on future projects and initiatives that align with the city's priorities.
