AMERICAN CULTURAL CENTER HOSTS LECTURE
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, /MONTSAME/ The American Cultural and Information Center has hosted a lecture themed "Early American Encounters with Mongolia" by Mr. Jonathan Addleton, the U.S. Ambassador to Mongolia.
The Ambassador Addleton has spoken about early American encounters in Mongolia beginning in the early 1900's as American traders and tourists became the first Americans to come to Mongolia. A part of Orgoo (the name of the capital city at that time) where American traders would do their business was informally called “American Denj".
Mr. Addleton has said, in 1899, Herbert Hoover, later the 31st president of the United States, visited Orgoo. Then 14 years later, William Rockwell, U.S ambassador to Turkey visited Mongolia with his wife. However, an American Diplomat named Charles Eberhardt spent five days in Mongolia in 1920, and, as a result, he made a recommendation to open the first U.S. diplomatic agency in Mongolia. "Throughout the decades since, there have been many more interesting and fruitful encounters between Americans and Mongolians, and finally, in 1987, the United States and Mongolia mutually agreed to formally open diplomatic missions in both countries," Mr. Addleton has said.
Forty participants attended this lecture. They have asked questions such as "what is the future of the Mongolian and American relationship?", "what is the American foreign policy to Central Asia?", "how can students in Mongolia get scholarships to study in the US?" and others.
