SOCHI, August 24 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will pay an official visit to Mongolia on August 25-26 to meet with his counterpart Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, a Kremlin aide said on Monday.
Medvedev was invited to Mongolia in May last year when the Central Asian state's former president, Nambaryn Enkhbayar, visited Russia.
The presidents will hold a one-to-one meeting on August 25, after which the talks will be widened, Sergei Prikhodko said.
It is also expected that a declaration on the development of strategic cooperation between Russia and Mongolia will be signed during Medvedev's visit.
Medvedev will also meet with Mongolian Prime Minister Sanjaagiin Bayar and national assembly representatives.
The Russian leader will also participate in events to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, where Soviet and Mongolian forces defeated the invading Japanese Kwantung Army in August 1939.
Medvedev will be accompanied by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, as well as military and atomic energy officials.
