Ulaanbaatar

Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia.

Mongolia's capital city of Ulaanbaatar has its share of tourist attractions - Genghis Khan Square, the National Museum, the State Opera and Ballet Theatre. But Ger Community Mapping Center guide Tuguldur Chuluunbaatar wants to highlight a different part of the city; a part that's often ignored.

Mongolia will supply critical metals to France needed for its energy transition, President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday during the first ever visit to Ulaanbaatar by a serving French president.

In one of the rooms of the center, which will also serve as a temporary shelter for immigrants who arrive in the city without any point of reference, Francis recalled that when the first missionaries arrived in Ulaanbaatar in the 1990s, they immediately felt a call to charity.
